Euro Approaching Parity with Pound Sterling

Guardian (hat tip Credit Writedowns):

The world’s foreign exchanges were today readying themselves for parity between sterling and the euro after further selling sent the pound to within touching distance of a one-for-one exchange rate against the European currency.

The euro has risen by almost a third against the pound in the course of 2008, with an 18% appreciation in December alone. Sterling’s trade-weighted index against a basket of currencies fell to 74.2% of its 2005 value, its lowest since the Bank of England first kept daily records in 1990.
