The British pound<\/a> is lower against the euro<\/a> on Monday with the coronavirus outbreak in the United Kingdom and the European Union making it less likely a Brexit trade deal can be reached by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Pound versus Euro<\/a> was down by 56 pips (-0.50%) to 1.0997 with a daily range of 1.0949 to 1.1128 of 1pm GMT.<\/p>\n

GBP\/EUR<\/a> has found some interim support at the 1.10 round number, which is limiting the hefty daily declines for now.<\/p>\n

The euro had gained, even against the US dollar when Germany announced plans for an economic stimulus package to fight the coronavirus on Friday. But the plans are already being called out as not enough.<\/p>\n

Last week the European central bank increased its asset purchase scheme in order to add liquidity to financial markets but kept its main interest rates on hold. Since then, investors have been waiting for bigger fiscal stimulus plans in Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
