EUR/USD bounces off 2021 lows, while GBP and INR Struggle

The pound has been struggling quite severely this month, as it dramatically fell against the dollar and euro this month. The Brexit deal signed in December and the whole country’s COVID lockdown did not help the pound thrive. Medical and political experts theorize that the following few weeks of the pandemic might be the worst so far in terms of people hospitalized.

The prospect of ever-tighter restrictions in the UK because of the new virus variant means that the economy will contract more in the first quarter of this year.

Bank of England policymakers predict quite negative rates at 1400 GMT shortly. In fact, last week at 1148 GMT, the pound was down 0.5% on the day versus the dollar, at USD1.3493. Versus the euro, it was flat at 90.17 pence.  Following future weeks, the pound may fall to around USD1.32-USD1.33 and 92-93 pence per euro.
