Sterling drops versus euro after biggest daily rise in months, awaits BoE - REUTERS

Feb 4 (Reuters) - The pound edged lower against the euro on Tuesday after recording its biggest daily rise in three months a day earlier as investors expect U.S. tariffs to hurt the economy more in Europe than in the UK.

It dropped against a strengthening dollar as tariffs against China took effect. It was down 0.15% at $1.2433.

Market participants also awaited the Bank of England's policy meeting later this week.
The pound "seems to be retaining some solid footing after an American trade war was averted," said Francesco Pesole, forex strategist at ING.
