TREE NEWS reports: The euro slid to its weakest level against sterling since June 2025 as France’s deepening fiscal crisis and fresh European political risks weighed on the currency. EUR/GBP fell as much as 0.4% to 0.8449, breaking below its July 2026 low. Earlier this week the euro also touched a 17-month low against the dollar and underperformed most G-10 currencies, with investors rattled by missed deficit targets, policy gridlock and next year’s French presidential election.
Euro Falls to 16-Month Low vs Sterling on French Fiscal Crisis
AI take
The euro's slide is less about sterling strength than about France-specific risk being repriced across G-10. Missing deficit targets and policy gridlock now carry a currency cost, and the approach of a presidential election gives markets little reason to look through it. What matters is whether this stays a French story or starts bleeding into the wider euro complex — peripheral spreads and ECB commentary are the places that would show it.
