|Sterling got a lift last week from some relative optimism about growth. However, economists at Société Générale expect the EUR/GBP pair to advance nicely on forecasts of extended economic stagnation.
It is all about growth (and stagnation)
“The release of softer-than-feared inflation data in the UK has turned the currency around today, but the growth story will be more important in the end.”
