• There were reports yesterday of investors moving funds out of German bunds in favour of UK gilts amid concerns about the safety of the euro.
• The euro was also undermined after Hungary, the latest European country to declare fiscal problems, warned that its economy was in a "very grave situation" and that talk of a government default was "not an exaggeration".
• In the UK, sterling was given a slight boost as David Cameron reminded the public of the "painful times" that lie ahead for the country, laying the foundations for a strict round of spending cuts from the new administration.
• The new government's commitment to tackling the deficit problems, at present, come across as credible, which has been supportive for sterling.
• Over the longer term, as the fiscal measure impact on the strength of economic growth, the pound could suffer, but a present the markets have taken a positive view towards the government's effort to curb spending.

In trading this morning, the price remains little changed. Having rallied so sharply in recent sessions, the pound has pared its gains holding above €1.21.
