EUR/GBP trades on a flat note near 0.8420 in Tuesday’s Asian session.
ECB’s Kazaks said the central bank will ease monetary policy further, though it shouldn’t do so too hastily.
The BoE is anticipated to leave the interest rate unchanged at its September meeting on Thursday.
The EUR/GBP cross remains steady around 0.8420 on Tuesday during the early European trading hours. The European Central Bank (ECB) rate cut and lower growth forecasts might further weigh on the Euro (EUR) in the near term. Investors await the UK and Eurozone August inflation data on Wednesday for fresh impetus. On Thursday, the Bank of England's (BoE) interest rate decision will be in the spotlight.
The ECB decided to reduce its key deposit rate a quarter point to 3.5% last week as inflation eases. It was the second cut, after the first move in June. ECB President stated during the press conference that the interest rate path ahead was "not pre-determined” and the central bank shall be "data dependent.” On Monday, ECB Governing Council member Martins Kazaks said that the central bank will ease monetary policy further, though it shouldn’t do so too hastily due to lingering inflation risks.
The release of the Eurozone Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) on Wednesday could offer some hints about the inflation trajectory in the Eurozone and might influence the ECB about the next move. The headline and core inflation are projected to remain unchanged on a yearly basis in August. However, the hotter-than-expected outcome might prompt the ECB to slow its interest rate cut pace, which might lift the shared currency.
