EUR/GBP is trading close to its 3-month average, holding near recent range highs. Risk sentiment remains supported by risk-off flows, pressuring the euro. Over the next few sessions, the pair may continue consolidating within its recent range, with near-term conditions suggesting a slight downward bias.
💸 Transfer implications

🧭 Key drivers
- Rate gap: The policy stance between the ECB and Bank of England remains broadly unchanged, with the ECB maintaining cautious policy signals.
- Risk/commodities: Elevated risk-off sentiment, supported by ongoing geopolitical concerns and European growth concerns, continues to favour safe-haven currencies.
- Global factors: US inflation worries and global risk aversion pressure the euro and GBP, keeping the pair supported by reduced risk appetite.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: Risk-on signals from positive global economic data could ease risk-off flows.
- Downside risk: Unexpected UK political developments or European policy shifts could pressure EUR/GBP lower.
