GBP/EUR: Euro vs Pound Awaits ECB Address At End Of QE

The pound euro (GBP/EUR) exchange rate is rising after losses yesterday.

The euro is heading lower after the ECB cut interest rates by 25 basis points, as expected. This reduced the main rate to 3.5% from 3.75%.

The central bank downwardly revised its growth outlook for this year to 0.8%, down from the 0.9% projection in July.

The pound is unchanged on a quiet day on the economic calendar.

The latest RICS house price survey showed house prices rose for the first time in two years.

Attention will be now turning to the Bank of England meeting next week.
