Euro ticks higher against British Pound following UK CPI data
The Euro (EUR) edged up against a softer British Pound (GBP) after UK Consumer Prices Index (CPI) data revealed that inflation grew in line with market expectations in August.
The Euro (EUR) saw a slight gain against the British Pound (GBP) following UK Consumer Prices Index (CPI) data, which showed inflation increasing in line with market expectations in August. The EUR/GBP pair rose around 10 pips to trade above 0.8570, extending its recovery from lower levels. However, the Euro struggled to gain significant support from the Pound's weakness due to a moderate risk-off mood and high Oil prices.
Analysts anticipate that the Bank of England will maintain current rates, with little room for further EUR/GBP depreciation in the near future.
