Sterling stabilises, set for biggest weekly fall versus euro since Sept

The pound had its best quarter against the euro since 2015 in the first three months of 2021, boosted by the UK's vaccine rollout, which is one of the fastest in the world, as well as a fading of negative interest rate expectations.
Versus the dollar, the pound was down 0.1% at $1.3723, and also on track for a weekly loss.

Sterling steadies vs dollar, euro after profit-taking knock

The pound fell 1.2% against the dollar and 1.7% against the euro between Tuesday and Wednesday as investors took cash off the table after a strong first quarter for the British currency.
Sterling's pullback was "exaggerated," ING analysts wrote, adding that they were "constructive" on the pound, citing Britain's relatively fast COVID-19 vaccine programme.

Sterling strengthens, helped by UK vaccine rollout and better retail sales

Sterling's gains versus the euro this year have been largely due to Britain's faster vaccine rollout, relative to Europe, analysts say, meaning that the EU-UK vaccine row could affect euro-sterling.
Brussels and London sought to cool tension on Wednesday, declaring they were working "to create a win-win situation and expand vaccine supply for all our citizens".
