What Moves EUR/GBP

A pair's price is one currency's value measured against another, so the economy behind each side matters.

Euro (EUR)

Eurozone (20 EU countries) · European Central Bank (ECB) · Free float

The Euro is the world's second most traded and held reserve currency, shared by twenty European Union countries with a single monetary policy.

Major contributors to the economy

  • Advanced manufacturing and cars (Germany)
  • Services and finance
  • Tourism
  • Chemicals and pharmaceuticals
  • Agriculture and food

Key factors

  • ECB interest-rate policy. ECB decisions and guidance on rates and bond buying are the main driver of the Euro.
  • Eurozone inflation and growth. Flash inflation figures and business surveys (PMIs) shift rate expectations.
  • Energy prices. Europe imports most of its energy, so high gas and oil prices weigh on the Euro.
  • Political and debt risk. Elections and bond-spread stress in members such as Italy can hurt the currency.

British Pound (GBP)

United Kingdom · Bank of England (BoE) · Free float

The British Pound (sterling) is the oldest currency still in use and one of the most traded, backed by London's position as a global financial centre.

Major contributors to the economy

  • Financial services
  • Professional and business services
  • Manufacturing and aerospace
  • Creative industries
  • Energy

Key factors

  • Bank of England policy. Rate decisions and the vote split of the Monetary Policy Committee move sterling.
  • UK inflation. The UK has had higher inflation than peers, so CPI surprises matter a lot.
  • Fiscal credibility. Budgets and government borrowing plans can move the Pound sharply.
  • Trade relations. Post-Brexit trade terms with the EU affect the growth outlook.

How EUR and GBP Interact

Central-bank policy matters on both sides: the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of England (BoE). When one of them is expected to keep interest rates higher than the other, that currency usually attracts capital and strengthens; a narrowing gap tends to reverse the move.

Markets to Watch

  • German 10-year Bund yield EUR

    Higher yields tend to support the Euro

  • European natural gas prices EUR

    Spikes usually weigh on the Euro

  • UK 10-year gilt yield GBP

    Sharp moves can signal stress or support for sterling

  • FTSE 100 GBP

    Large exporters often move inversely to the Pound

Events & Data to Follow

  • EUR ECB monetary policy meetings
  • EUR Eurozone flash CPI
  • EUR German Ifo and ZEW surveys
  • EUR Eurozone PMIs
  • GBP Bank of England rate decisions
