GBP/EUR Exchange Rate News: Varied UK Inflation Results cause Slight Sterling Movement
The Pound Sterling (GBP) has advanced against the Euro (GBP/EUR) and others today, although equally prominent have been its losses against other rivals. The Pound has partially been affected by the UK Inflation Rate figures for October, which have failed to trigger a major shift in either direction due to their inconsistent nature. The Core figure rose against expectations from 1% to 1.1%, while the annual result stayed at -0.1% in line with forecasts. For the base monthly figure, a rise from -0.1% to 0.1% was recorded.
The Pound Sterling has fallen by -0.2% against the Turkish Lira (GBP/TRY) and the Canadian Dollar (GBP/CAD) and -0.3% against the Norwegian Krone (GBP/NOK) today, but has seen rises of more than 0.2% against the Euro (GBP/EUR), the Czech Koruna (GBP/CZK) and the Hungarian Forint (GBP/HUF).
EUR/GBP Exchange Rate Remains Down Today as Investor Caution Continues
The Euro (EUR) has trended narrowly in a negative range against the Pound Sterling (EUR/GBP) today and has otherwise declined against all of the competition.

The day’s only notable domestic Eurozone data has indicated a slowdown, with the New Car Registrations for October reducing from 9.8% to 2.9%.
The Euro has declined by -0.3% against the US Dollar (EUR/USD) and the Japanese Yen (EUR/JPY) today, with a greater loss of -0.4% against the Canadian Dollar (EUR/CAD) also being seen.
