Pound euro exchange rate volatile amid

The pound to euro exchange rate has slipped since last week’s brief gain. GBP ended the first trading week of December “broadly unchanged”. Brexit talks continue to play a major role in sterling’s movements.

“Sterling ended Friday broadly unchanged against the common currency, though the market continues to price high expectations of a Brexit trade deal being agreed,” said Brown.

“Negotiations on said deal will remain in focus this week, with the pair set to be almost solely politically-driven.”

Holidays can now take place once more for anyone living in England, but for those anxious about making concrete plans, booking last minute is a savvy way to go – but what’s the best way to book?

If you’re worried about missing out if you leave it till the last minute, consider being flexible with your dates.

“With so many of us working flexibly, mid-week staycations are a great way to browse a wider variety of properties that would usually be booked up over a weekend,” Matt Fox, founder of last-minute holiday provider, Snaptrip, told Express.co.uk.

Lastly, Fox advises opting for getaways far from the madding crowds.

“We would always advise guests to remain socially distanced from others outside of their household or support bubble during their stay,” he said.
