On January 5, the British pound slipped against the U.S. dollar but climbed to a two-and-a-half-month high versus the euro, following the U.S.’s removal of Venezuelan President Maduro. Analysts at Monex Europe noted in a report that safe-haven demand spurred by geopolitical tensions in Venezuela and Iran lifted the U.S. dollar. They added the euro is more sensitive to trade disruptions, pushing the pound higher against the single currency—though this trend could prove temporary. Looking ahead to 2026, the analysts said: “We expect the U.K.’s domestic political landscape to remain a headwind for economic growth and the pound.” By contrast, the euro may gain support from Eurozone fiscal policies aimed at stimulating growth.
