However, with the level 50 separating expansion from contraction, the UK\u2019s dominant sector remains deep in contraction.<\/p>\n<p>Brexit and the lack of progress in trade talks is which adding the most pressure on the Pound. Contributing to the Pound\u2019s woes, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey has recommended that banks bolster preparations for a no deal Brexit. A final meeting is due between Boris Johnson and European Commission President Ursula von de Leyen later this month, which investors hope will inject some political momentum into negotiations<\/p>\n<p>Today there the construction PMI could attract some attention. However, any Brexit headlines will dominate.<\/p>\n<p>The Euro was strong on Wednesday as investors digested encouraging macro releases and as the European Central Bank meeting draws into focus.<\/p>\n<p>The ECB are broadly expected to keep the interest rate on hold. The latest staff projections will be keenly awaited given that March\u2019s data is so out of date. Back in April the ECB provided three scenarios for GDP depending on the severity of the coronavirus crisis. Expectations are for a medium to hard outcome with GDP expected to fall 8-12% in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to staff projections, investors will be listening carefully to any increase in the Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme. Investors are hoping that an increase between \u20ac250 billion and \u20ac500 billion could be on the cards to buyup debt in those nations most affected by the coronavirus crisis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pound under pressure as Brexit talks make little progress ECB rate announcement due, interest rates expected to remain on hold Euro (EUR) to be driven by projections and expected increase in PEPP At 06:15 UTC, GBP\/EUR is trading -0.1% at \u20ac1.1180 The Pound is extending losses on Thursday after snapping a three-day winning streak on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":163946597,"featured_media":5298,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1380,1379],"tags":[1386,1413,1395,1393,1394,1391],"class_list":["post-100825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-eur","category-gbp","tag-brexit","tag-ecb","tag-eur","tag-euro","tag-gbp","tag-pound"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
