strong and stable with me, or...
First thing I looked at was context, first to a o month, then 6m then a year then 3 years. The pound is actually on a high, so that loss although large is only a return to prices of a month or so ago.Presumably, if you wanted to illustrate something like "how did the markets react to the budget?" you'd want a tight timeframe that covered just before and just after the budget announcement.
Ot, I guess we could just link to an article to show the same thing...
"The pound fell on Thursday, set for its worst two-day loss against the euro in two years, a day after new British finance minister Rachel Reeves announced a tax-and-spend budget that investors worried would reignite inflation and weigh on growth.
Sterling was heading for a two-day loss of 0.7% against the euro , the largest since September 2022, when then-Prime Minister Liz Truss unleashed turmoil on UK financial markets with budget plans for billions of pounds in unfunded tax cuts."
