The pound-euro (GBP/EUR) exchange rate has fallen for a second day, dipping below €1.21.

The euro is rising, benefitting from a selloff in the USD after Trump applied trade tariffs to Mexico, Canada and China. The move has raised concerns over the US economic outlook, prompting investors to sell out of the dollar.

The euro benefits despite worries that Trump could apply trade tariffs to Europe next.
