Growing optimism over proposals to end the war in Ukraine supported the European single currency, while disappointing data from Germany limited the upside. The Eurozone’s largest economy reported a drop in business sentiment in November and confirmed that growth stalled in the third quarter. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar remained on the back foot, supported by hopes of Fed interest rate cuts. The EUR/USD pair rose by 0.4% to 1.1566 on Friday. Following the budget announcement, the Pound rose against the Euro on easing uncertainty and market relief, supported by calm bond markets. While gains were tempered by delayed tax measures, GBP remained near one-month highs by week’s end. As such, the EUR/GBP pair dropped by 0.6% for the week, to end at 0.8752.
