STORY LINK Euro to Pound Forecasts RAISED to 0.86 in Six Months at Rabobank

Foreign exchange analysts at Rabobank have raised their exchange rate forecasts for the Euro versus the Pound Sterling.

Recent US tariff concerns have driven investors towards currencies backed by current account surpluses, benefiting the Euro (EUR).

"The Eurozone’s current account surplus appears to be a source of support for the EUR currently."

The Euro's resilience as a temporary safe haven reflects investors' preference to hold cash amid market uncertainty.

"Investors appear to be sitting on cash in CHF, JPY and EURs while waiting for current fog of uncertainty to clear."

The Pound Sterling (GBP) remains vulnerable due to the UK's persistent current account deficit, especially when domestic fundamentals weaken.

"The UK’s current account deficit can leave GBP exposed when UK fundamentals turn sour and international investors look for the exits."


Germany’s shift towards increased public spending, notably in defence and technology, further boosts the Euro's attractiveness.

"Investors had already been looking for fresh opportunities in Europe, so sitting on cash in EURs may seem like a reasonable position."

Consequently, Rabobank has raised its EUR/GBP forecast to 0.85 for the six-month horizon.

"We have adjusted our EUR/GBP forecasts higher and now see the currency pair at 0.85 on a 6 month vs. compared with a previous forecast of 0.83."
