Latest Currency News

Euro to Pound: UK analysts forecast the Euro-to-Pound rate to rise towards 0.87 over three months as gilt sensitivity and the October Budget threaten Sterling. Gilt sensitivity matters because Sterling has at times sold off alongside UK government bonds when investors have grown concerned about the fiscal outlook, making budget-related headlines a recurring driver of Pound volatility. The Euro to Pound exchange rate traded near 0.8587 on Friday, leaving it approximately 1.3% below Rabobank's three-month forecast of 0.87. EUR/GBP eased around 0.10% during the morning session.

US Dollar to Yen: The Dollar-Yen rate has already reached MUFG's end-Q4 forecast as intervention risk and expectations of further Bank of Japan tightening support the Yen. Intervention risk is a persistent factor in this pair: Japanese authorities have repeatedly stepped into currency markets in recent years when rapid Yen moves threatened economic stability, which can abruptly reverse exchange-rate trends. USD/JPY recovered to around 156.3 on Friday after sliding to 155.31, its lowest level for a month. The pair lost more than 2% over the previous 48 hours. (Full article)

Pound to Australian Dollar: GBP/AUD hit a three-month low on Thursday as a risk-on mood swept markets. The Australian Dollar is often sensitive to global risk sentiment because of Australia's commodity-linked economy, tending to strengthen when investor appetite for risk improves. At the time of writing, GBP/AUD was trading at AU$1.8797, having bounced off a low point. The pair could remain under pressure if risk appetite stays firm, although a more hawkish stance from Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey could help Sterling recover. (Full article)

Pound to Dollar: GBP/USD edged up on Thursday after touching a 20-day low on Wednesday, although the recovery was limited. At the time of writing, GBP/USD was trading at $1.3496, marginally up. The pair could extend its recovery if US payrolls disappoint — the monthly non-farm payrolls report is among the most closely watched US data releases and often drives Dollar moves as traders reassess Federal Reserve policy expectations — although cautious comments from Bailey may limit Sterling's upside.

Pound to Euro: GBP/EUR ticked lower on Thursday, pressured by further signs of rising inflation in the Eurozone as well as a downgrade to UK service sector growth last month. The rate could remain under pressure if Bailey strikes a cautious tone, although weaker German factory orders may limit further Euro gains. (Full article)

UK Growth Outlook: UK economists forecast stronger-than-expected UK growth while warning that underlying services inflation remained too high. Persistent services inflation is a key metric for the Bank of England's rate-setting decisions, as it reflects domestic price pressures that are slower to fade than energy or goods costs. GBP/USD climbed 0.34% to around $1.3529 on Thursday, recovering from an earlier low of $1.3481. GBP/EUR slipped 0.06% to €1.1631. (Full article)
