EUR/GBP RISES ABOVE 0.8350 AHEAD OF EUROZONE GDP, UK AUTUMN FORECAST STATEMENT

· Views 17


  • EUR/GBP appreciates as the British Pound faces challenges ahead of the UK’s Autumn Forecast Statement.
  • UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, plans to implement approximately £40 billion in fiscal measures, primarily through tax increases.
  • Traders await the release of preliminary Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data from Germany and the Eurozone on Wednesday.

EUR/GBP recovers its recent losses from the previous session, trading near 0.8320 in the European session on Wednesday. This downward trend in the EUR/GBP cross could be attributed to a weaker Pound Sterling (GBP) ahead of the UK’s upcoming Autumn Forecast Statement. This will mark the first budget announcement by a Labor government in over 15 years.

Reuters cited government sources, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves plans to implement approximately £40 billion ($52 billion) in fiscal measures, primarily through tax increases, to fulfill her commitment to fund day-to-day government expenses.

The Euro may face headwinds as the European Central Bank (ECB) is widely expected to lower its Deposit Facility Rate again. Current money market data suggests nearly a 50% probability of a 50 basis point rate cut in the December meeting.
