EURGBP rebounds from two-month lows as the pressure to euro ease today. Robust economic data from the UK economy helped the British pound the previous week. Boris Johnson told the cabinet that he still looking for 5% budget cuts, so it’s not clear whether there will be a net boost in the investment. Javid’s resignation as Chancellor last Thursday boosted hopes for a fiscal stimulus that send the EURGBP lower.
Eurozone economy was steady in the fourth quarter of 2019 amid weaker Germany economy. The European Monetary Union Gross Domestic Product last week reported at 0.1% in line with forecasts. The annualized Gross Domestic Product reading came in at 0.9% below the estimates of 1%. German GDP in the fourth quarter came in at 0.0% below the expectations of 0.1%. the resulting GDP for 2019 was 0.6% for the year.
I expect the volatility in EURGBP pair to continue as the Brexit negotiations progress and uncertainty will prevail. The optimism that boosted GBP after the December elections might be fade away as both parts take a hard stance ahead of the negotiations.
