GBP/EUR Exchange Rate News: Uptrend Continues as Market Meltdown After-Effects Continue to be Felt
The Pound Sterling (GBP) has risen by 0.5% against the Euro (GBP/EUR) today, a further gain in Sterling’s current uptrend against the single currency. This began on Tuesday after global stock markets showed signs of recovery; today has seen little to complain about in stock market performance but despite this apparent return to normality, reactions appear unchanged from two days ago.

In addition, a -0.7% drop against the US Dollar (GBP/USD) has been seen.

Despite this, losses have still been seen against the commodity currencies today, although not to the extent of the Euro’s drops. Major gains for the US Dollar today included rises of over 0.6% against the Pound Sterling (USD/GBP), the Euro (USD/EUR) and the Polish Zloty (USD/PLN).
