MUFG Senior Currency Analyst Lee Hardman notes that the Pound has traded volatile as UK political risks flared, with EUR/GBP spiking to 0.8742 before easing back toward 0.8700.
💡 DMK Insight
The recent volatility in GBP is a wake-up call for traders: political risks are back on the radar. With EUR/GBP spiking to 0.8742, this movement signals heightened uncertainty surrounding UK politics, which can lead to rapid shifts in currency pairs. Traders should be cautious, as the pullback to 0.8700 suggests a potential consolidation phase. Monitoring the political landscape and any upcoming announcements will be crucial. If the Pound continues to show weakness, we could see a test of lower support levels, which may affect correlated assets like UK equities. On the flip side, if political tensions ease, a rebound could push EUR/GBP back toward recent highs. Keep an eye on the daily chart for breakout patterns and set alerts around these key levels to capitalize on potential swings.
📮 Takeaway
Watch for EUR/GBP to test support at 0.8700; any break could signal further downside for the Pound amid ongoing political risks.
