Why is the Euro Finally getting weaker against the Pound?

Ok, so great news for those that have been waiting to buy Euros and unfortunate news for those in the process of selling overseas, but just why has this all started to happen now?
Here is a great article explaining what the current problems are in Europe and also suggesting that we could see yet another rate cut in the Eurozone fairly soon due to potential deflation…. A rate cut is generally seen as negative for the currency concerned and a hike in rates positive, and with the markets moving on rumour as well as fact the mere mention of cuts again has weakened the Euro accordingly – The Greek situation is merely weeks away from coming to a head again too which certainly won’t be doing the Euro much good one would imagine, it seems March will be crunch time for Greece and personally I don’t see there is much left they can do.
It could still take a long time for Greece to leave the Euro as people need to remember in order to calculate a fair value for the Drachma it will take months of tracking rates and a lot of working out, just like when a country has joined the Euro in the past, so nothing is going to happen too quickly on this matter, and Greece leaving may even be seen as positive for the Euro as it is like cutting the rotton part out of the strawberry… To be honest though the whole strawberry is looking a little manky right now!
