The heightened risk of conflict between Ukraine and Russia has triggered a reversal of the euro’s gains from earlier this month. Economists at MUFG Bank expect the EUR/GBP pair to test the key support level at 0.83.
“Recent price action highlights that market participants are initially treating the potential conflict as a negative shock for Europe’s economy that is already weighing on euro performance.”
“The higher price of oil resulting from the tensions between Russia and Ukraine provides a further complication for the ECB, and will keep pressure building on the ECB to tighten policy unless evidence of a sharper slowdown in growth emerges.”
“Market participants will be listening closely comments from a large number of BoE officials in the week ahead to assess the likelihood of a larger 0.50-point hike on 17th March. If there is any indication from MPC members that they are erring toward a larger hike and/or tensions between Russia and Ukraine continue to escalate further then EUR/GBP appears set to break below support at the 0.8300-level.”
