EUR/GBP Fundamental Analysis December 28, 2012, Forecast

Analysis and Recommendations:

The EUR/GBP  is trading at 0.8207 with the euro gaining some 13pts today. The euro rose to an 8 month high against the GBP as it gained broadly on month-end demand and on ebbing concerns about euro zone peripheral debt problems. The euro rose to 82.12 pence, surpassing Wednesday’s high of 82.085 pence to mark its highest since late April.  The pound’s falls against the euro pushed its trade-weighted index to a two-month low of 83.2, Bank of England data showed. Ongoing concerns about a weak UK economy have meant sterling has tended to underperform the euro in recent weeks.
