The UK economy is not “on the brink”, the pound fell by 0.7% against the euro and has mostly stabilised at market close. The graph is also incredibly misleading as it starts at 665.00 and ends at 671.00 making the downward trajectory look more dramatic than the reality. https://www.reuters.com/markets/currencies/sterling-ticks-higher-investors-expect-fewer-boe-rate-cuts-2024-10-31/
