GBP/EUR: Pound Hit Almost 2 Year High As Parliament Rejects No Deal

The pound euro (GBP/EUR) exchange rate is inching higher after losses last week.

The euro is edging lower ahead of Thursday’s ECB interest rate decision. The central bank is expected to leave rates unchanged at 4%.

Will policymakers provide clues about when a rate cut could be coming?
