Euro rate at moment.

As if it matters to any tourists from UK...

More relevant will be the score in about a month if Boris lets his people go and the demand for euros rises. That will hit the rate for sure.

Still surprising us .. 1.176 for the weekend ...

Pyrman

@ 11:30 this morning rate is 1.1695

Think we are probably near peak for the moment ... went down yesterday to almost 1.157 and has re-bounded this morning to 1.1619 ...

Someone, somewhere, is sitting on a very large pile of €10 notes and trying very hard to get shot of them. With 40 million or so vsits to Euroland this year not going to happen, there is no need for tourist currency exchange.

Might be worth a punt if it reaches €1,20 to £ in case travel is allowed next year.

Pound crossed the 1.17 line early morning .... now 1.168 .. you can get 1.55 with Travel FX.

You would be talking just a month or two, Alan ... and many European economies will be better off than UK because of fewer % of cases and deaths ... biggest economy Germany, 1.82 million fewer cases, 50,000 deaths fewer than UK ... France, slightly fewer cases but 35.000 deaths fewer ... Italy, had 1 million fewer cases and 23,000 fewer deaths ... Spain, 1 million fewer cases and 50,000 fewer deaths ..

Only four much bigger countries in the world are worse than UK for managing the virus ... also ... Germany, Holland, France and Italy exported much more than UK last year .... and maybe consider the huge national debt built up to cope with Covid-19 in UK ... cant see them being anywhere near EU economies anytime soon .. and this will only show when everything opens up

... except our trade with EU probably will take much longer ..

maybe in a couple of years if we all holiday at home, fill up hotels, B&B`s and beaches ... buy a new car ... re-furnish our houses .. eat out twice a week and drink ourselves silly ...

Pyrman

Still holding up at 1.1675 this morning ... but as soon as people start buying euros it will drop ... maybe sooner if EU bash us for stealing all the vaccines ...

	Probably. With some optimism about European holidays (despite Boris the misery maker) the dealers won't be having to continue their cut price offers to shift their pile of Euro notes. If trade picks up that will also result in changes.

	Maybe I am being pessimistic, but if the economy take off due to the vaccination program and the lack of it in Europe, going by the lockdown of Italy again and the refusal to use the Oxford vaccine we could see it rising further.
