Spanish exports top pre-pandemic levels despite Brexit and supply chain bottleneck and France unemployment hits 13-year low. Along with that, Portugal drops most COVID-19 rules as Omicron ebbs. We could see temporary strengthening for the euro currency before continuing the bearish direction.

The UK economy only suffered a small omicron hit. On the other side, the UK Jobs market shows employment improvement and UK inflation climbs to the highest since 1992 at 5.5%. These sentiments could be considered as positive for the GBP.
