GBPEUR summary
Economist snapshot: "The fastest rise in core inflation since the formation of the single currency has added to the growing evidence that Europe’s inflation problem has long since broadened out from just being an energy issue."
Trading snapshot: "Sterling has remained weak versus the euro as the limited extent of positive data surprises has held back the currency."
GBPUSD summary
Economist snapshot: "UK data has struggled to help the pound gain traction, as much of it has contained something for hawks and doves alike. Inflation is high, but falling. Wages growth is elevated, but there are some early signs of job market loosening."
Trading snapshot: "We expect the current GBPUSD trading range to hold as we see a number of factors, beyond relative rates convergence, as repressing Dollar upside momentum."
