The current forecast for the GBP to EUR exchange rate reflects a complex interplay of economic factors, trade relations, and market sentiment. Recently, the British pound (GBP) traded at 7-day lows near 1.1843, aligning closely with its 3-month average, within a relatively stable range between 1.1517 and 1.2127. Analyst commentary suggests that the recent spike in GBP following a surge in UK inflation was short-lived, as concerns about its sustainability overshadowed initial gains. The Bank of England (BoE) may overlook this inflation rise due to one-off factors, which could limit the pound's upward momentum. Additionally, the imminent release of the latest Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) data is anticipated to show further contraction in the UK private sector, potentially dampening Sterling sentiment.
