There is rising concern over progress as the late June deadline for an extension to the transition period looms. If there is no agreement to postpones the transition period deadline lawmakers will have until the end of the year for a trade deal or risk a cliff edge Brexit, just as the UK economy is attempting to recover from the coronavirus hit.<\/p>\n<p>One positive note, lock down measures easing is offering some support to the Pound. The gradual lowering of coronavirus infections and deaths has led the Prime Minister to allow some shops to return to business this week and all to start trading by mid-June. The move to reopen is slower than that in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>The Euro has been in favour amid growing expectations of further fiscal stimulus in the bloc. Last week the European Commission announced an ambitious recovery fund, topping the French \u2013 German \u20ac500 billion program of grants with additional loans. The European Commission\u2019s decision outweighed the frugal four\u2019s protests. This is a group of four hawkish countries which wish to limit the EU\u2019s aid, and borrowing. \u00a0The Euro surged.<\/p>\n<p>Covid-19 data has also been supportive of the Euro with numbers declining and the reopening of countries so far going well.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead both UK and Eurozone manufacturing PMI data will be in focus. Analysts are expecting few changes from the last reading, with manufacturing activity across the board in deep contraction still expected to be closer to 40 on the index, than 50. 50 separates expansion from contraction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reopening of UK economy lifts Pound (GBP) Brexit talks this week could limit gains EZ &amp; UK manufacturing PMI expected to show activity deep in contraction in May At 06:30 UTC, GBP\/EUR is trading +0.05% at \u20ac1.1126.
