Euro Extends Gains Against Pound as Eurozone Inflation Accelerates

The euro traded higher against the British pound on Wednesday and was on track for a fifth consecutive daily gain. The move followed confirmation from Eurozone final inflation figures that price pressures picked up.

Higher inflation in the currency bloc supported the common currency against sterling. The pair's upward momentum reflects increased expectations that the European Central Bank may need to keep policy tighter for longer.
