EUR/GBP is neither bullish nor bearish. The exchange rate between the Euro and the British Pound fluctuates regularly, depending on various economic factors. Factors such as employment, inflation and GDP can affect the value of both currencies relative to one another. Therefore, it's impossible to predict whether EUR/GBP will be bullish or bearish in a given time frame. Analysts instead monitor currency trends over time to determine if there is an overall trend in a particular direction.
The recent strength of the euro against the British pound has been on a roller coaster ride over the past few months. In February, EUR/GBP hit its highest level in five years as traders bet that a Brexit deal would be reached between Britain and the European Union. Since then, however, GBP has made some gains as risk sentiment improved and it was aided by a better-than-expected U.K. growth report for 2022, which reversed some of those losses towards the start of 2023.
1. Economic Growth - With both the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK) having a major influence on the global economy, economic growth can have an effect on EUR/GBP exchange rates. For example, if one of them had stronger growth compared to the other, that could lead to investors trading more of that particular currency compared to its counterpart leading to an increase in the exchange rate.
2. Interest Rates - Central banks set interest rates which affect how investors view each currency when creating strategies for forex trading. If central banks raise interest rates then this increases demand for their currency as it becomes more attractive for traders as they are able to receive higher returns on investments made using that currency, thus impacting EUR/GBP exchange rates significantly.
3. Political Uncertainty - The political landscape can have a strong influence on FX markets due to Brexit negotiations or other potential political events such as EU elections or changes in government policy abroad. This creates uncertainty amongst traders which can lead to large-scale fluctuations in exchange rates over relatively short periods of time.
4. Consumer Price Inflation – When inflation rises prices go up and this reduces purchasing power so there is less demand for commodities and currencies meaning that some may become devalued against others resulting in changes to EUR/GBP pairings being seen across international exchanges around the globe.
