EUR/GBP Fundamental Analysis – Forecast for the week of September 19, 2016

The EUR/GBP got bounced around this week to close at 0.8570. Both currencies were down for the week but the pound took the largest hit after the BoE held rates and policy. The euro was hit hard by weak data and worries over banks in Italy.

The negotiations between European Union and United Kingdom will be highly important as it will decide the course of economic path of both the territories. In a recent comment, House of Lords committee stated that the government should not trigger Article 50 without taking the parliament’s approval. According to the committee, Parliament should play a “central role” in the negotiation process. Moreover, British officials are trying hard to stop Europe from adopting a no-compromise position in talks in the hope that the UK will change its mind about leaving the bloc.

Sterling is leaking lower. There have been no data reports to drive sentiment but UK stocks are lower and banks are under-performing on the spillover from Europe. Analysts remain negative on the broader outlook for the GBP as they think the real effects of Brexit have yet to be fully realized
