GBP/EUR Exchange Rate Holds Steady Ahead of BoE Interest Rate Decision
The Pound Euro exchange rate remained stable at €1.1672 on Wednesday as investors awaited the Bank of England's (BoE) crucial interest rate decision.
Despite a rise in UK inflation to 3.1% in August, the data had little impact on expectations for BoE monetary policy. The central bank is widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged at its Thursday meeting.
The Pound came under pressure initially but recouped its losses as trade unfolded. The Euro also struggled to build on its initial gains against the Pound, losing momentum after a mixed set of industrial production figures from the Eurozone.
