The British economy continues to see lockdown measures eased. All shops will open as from 15<sup>th<\/sup> June, whilst all restaurants and pubs will reopen on June 22<sup>nd<\/sup> to serve customers outdoors. These are signs that the UK economy is reigniting, offering support for the Pound.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst Brexit uncertainty continues to drag on the Pound, news that the UK will begin post Brexit trade negotiations with Japan today, is also buoying demand for sterling. Both sides are hopeful that they can enter into a free trade deal by the end of the year. This is a fairly ambitious aim given that it usually takes years to agree such a deal.<\/p>\n<p>There is no high impacting data due to be release for the UK today, leaving the Pound to be driven by sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>The Euro finished the previous session on the back foot after the Spanish central bank warned that the Spanish economy could contract by as much as 15% this year. This would make it one of the hardest hit economies by the coronavirus crisis. Spain had one of the strictest coronavirus lock downs. Furthermore, the Spanish economy is made up of predominantly a large number of small businesses, which are also more vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>Today data will remain very much in focus with German trade data, Eurozone unemployment and Eurozone GDP all under the spotlight. GDP is expected to confirm -3.8% quarter on quarter decline in the first three months of the year. In addition to the data, the Eurogroup ministers meeting also begins meaning that there could be more headlines to drive the currency as well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pound (GBP) edges mildly lower after three sessions of gains UK Japan trade talks set to begin today Euro (EUR) advancing ahead of barrage of data including unemployment numbers and GDP At 06:15 UTC, Pound to Euro (GBP\/EUR) is trading -0.05% at \u20ac1.1260 The Pound is consolidating gains versus the Euro on Tuesday after three [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":163946597,"featured_media":5591,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1380,1379],"tags":[1386,1395,1393,1394,1409,1391],"class_list":{"0":"post-100958","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-eur","8":"category-gbp","9":"tag-brexit","10":"tag-eur","11":"tag-euro","12":"tag-gbp","13":"tag-gdp","14":"tag-pound"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
