The British pound<\/a> is lower against the euro on Friday.<\/p>\n

Pound to Euro<\/a> was lower by 102 pips (-0.91%) to 1.1212 as of 3pm GMT.<\/p>\n

GBP\/EUR gave up the 1.13 level to sink 100 pips toward 1.12 and a new 6-week low. Yesterday the exchange rate rose +0.1% meaning a -2.1% decline on the week.<\/p>\n

GBP: Lack of Brexit progress hits the pound<\/h2>\n

Folding in today\u2019s declines, measured in dollars, the pound is now the worst performing G10 currency over the past month. Traders are expressing a belief that the UK economy will underperform the major economies of Asia, Europe and the US by selling pounds against the respective currencies.<\/p>\n

The pound-euro exchange rate has broken down from a month-long sideways range, triggered by disappointment at a stalemate in EU\/UK trade negotiations. The breakdown in price tends to imply further weakness ahead.<\/p>\n

The UK\u2019s chief negotiator David Frost said today that \u201cvery limited progress\u201d was made in post-Brexit EU\/UK trade talks this week. The UK negotiating team is calling on a change of approach by the EU and plans to make public the legal draft texts it has given to the EU next week.<\/p>\n

EUR: Euro boosted by Germany stimulus<\/h2>\n

EU Chief Negotiator Michel Barnier said the progress was \u201cdisappointing\u201d and told the UK that \u201cYou cannot have the best of both worlds\u201d adding that he was \u201cnot optimistic\u201d that a deal could be reached. The next round of negotiations start June 1st<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

The euro saw a small gain across the board over the prospect of a new German stimulus program to be announced in June and some small but growing hopes for the creation of a joint recovery fund at next week\u2019s Eurogroup meeting.<\/p>\n

The gains came despite German Q1 GDP and French consumer inflation data missing expectations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
