GBP/EUR is trading close to the 90-day average within a range of 1.1403 to 1.1595. It remains supported by the current policy outlook, with UK monetary policy being cautious but not sharply divergent. Over the next few sessions, the pair's sideways trading range may persist as market conditions stay balanced and geopolitical tensions remain elevated.

- Expats: sending money to the Euro zone may find current exchange conditions broadly stable.
- Travellers: buying Euro cash could face limited movement, with conditions slightly supportive.
- Businesses: paying overseas Euro invoices might see little change, with conditions staying within recent levels.
🧭 Key drivers
- Rate gap: UK and Eurozone policies are close, with the Bank of England and ECB maintaining cautious stances.
- Risk/commodities: Risk sentiment remains neutral; geopolitical tensions keep market activity in check.
- Global factors: Geopolitical tensions and cautious macro outlook underpin the pair’s range-bound nature.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: A clearer signal from the Bank of England supporting a potential rate hike could support GBP.
- Downside risk: Worsening UK-EU relations or global risk-off sentiment could pressure GBP lower.
BER suggests shopping around for the lowest margin provider to help reduce overall transfer costs and comparing FX providers to offset less favourable exchange conditions.
