Euro falls short of sterling strength yesterday

By Ricky Bean August 17th, 2016

Yesterday saw the euro lose some of the gains it had made over the last week against sterling. Positive data from the UK saw the GBP/EUR rate push higher and it continued to do so throughout the day. Against the dollar, the euro continued making gains and reached a seven week high before some moderately strong data releases from the US enabled the US currency to strengthen.

Today brings a lack of data releases from the Eurozone, which could potentially leave the currency at the whim of both sterling and the US dollar, as both currencies have a number of significant releases throughout the day.
