UK figures push euro above 94p
Sterling hit its lowest point against the euro since March this morning after figures which showed that UK consumer price inflation eased more than expected last month. This reinforced the view that British interest rates will remain low for some time.
The euro rose to 94.1p after the announcement, before falling back to 93.3p this afternoon.

Chief executive John Whelan told RTÉ radio this was the worst period in living memory for most indigenous exporters. He said sterling’s rate is around 21% weaker than this time last year, knocking €200,000 off every €1m of sales to the UK.
