EUR/GBP

The Euro (EUR) shows a mild bullish correction against the British Pound (GBP) on Thursday, following a more than 2.7% selloff from late September highs that had pushed the Relative Strength Index to heavily oversold levels in most timeframes.

The EUR/GBP cross weakens to near 0.8390 during the early European trading hours on Wednesday. The British Pound (GBP) attracts some buyers following hotter UK inflation data.

Societe Generale strategists highlight that United Kingdom (UK) unemployment has fallen to a 13‑month low and average earnings have ticked higher, reinforcing expectations for a Bank of England (BoE) rate hike to 4% in November.

MUFG’s Lee Hardman notes the Pound is strengthening, with EUR/GBP near its year-to-date low and GBP/USD above 1.3350, as stronger UK labour data show rising payrolled employment and private sector wage growth in line with Bank of England projections. He argues this supports expectations for BoE rate hikes and a lower EUR/GBP trading range between 0.8200 and 0.8400.

EUR/GBP loses 0.38% on Tuesday as stronger-than-expected UK labour market data lifts the Pound Sterling (GBP). At the time of writing, the cross trades around 0.8395, at levels last seen in May 2025.

The Euro (EUR) slides 0.2% to near 0.8407 against the British Pound (GBP), following the release of the United Kingdom (UK) labor market data for three months ending August. The labor market data has shown a significant improvement in job hiring and a decline in the jobless rate.
