The terror attack at Manchester Arena had a great impact on the global finance markets and as a result the Great Britain Pound Sterling fell by 0.24% against the Euro. With the general election coming up on Thursday June 8 2017, this is indeed a crucial and volatile time for the Pound.
David Bloom, an analyst from HSBC, warned that the exchange rate could hit lows of £1 to €1 by end of year.
While Caxton Fx Analyst, Alexandra Russell-Oliver, believes the pound’s value will depend on who is victorious in the election. She said:
If Labour wins the election, this would come as a shock for the pound.
Given that a Labour victory would increase uncertainty around the Brexit process, the pound would likely weaken in reaction.
However, if the Conservatives win the election, the pound would likely strengthen.
This is the current Pound to Euro exchange rate as at the time this post was published, let us see what will unfold as the week goes by.
