10:04 GMT – Sterling could appreciate against the euro if Bank of England interest rates remain high for longer, as markets widely expect, Bank of American analysts say in a note. “We forecast EUR/GBP at 0.85 over our forecast horizon,” they say. However, in the short term, the BoE’s actions may not provide much support to the pound, says BofA. EUR/GBP fell 0.1% to 0.8635 and GBP/USD rose 0.1% to 1.2190. (miriam.mukuru@wsj.com)
