James Chen, CMT December 15, 2016 9:29 PM

EUR/GBP has been falling sharply since early November as the pound has gained back some traction after hitting Brexit-driven, multi-decade lows against the US dollar in October.

The resounding “no” that resulted from Italy’s referendum on constitutional reform over the weekend placed the future of the euro firmly in the spotlight, yet failed to weigh on the common currency in the immediate aftermath.
