0847 GMT - Sterling rises to a one-week high against the euro, recovering to levels seen before the U.S. Treasury announced increased buybacks of long-term securities. This signals that the positive premium in the euro has been scaled back, ING's Francesco Pesole says in a note. "If calm is indeed restored in the bond market, expect the pair to return to tracking short-term rate differentials closely." Sterling is likely to turn lower against the euro in coming months as expectations for interest-rate rises by the Bank of England look excessive, he says. The euro falls to as low as 0.8544 pounds and ING expects it to reach 0.8700 over the next few months.
