Currency Market Update - 15th February 2024

Pound touches 16-month highs against Euro

The Pound has hit a stumbling block this week after underwhelming UK inflation data.

This is another surprise for forecasters as many predicted the Pound to see further gains from the latest CPI data.

Before the inflation news, the Pound was choppy vs the Dollar, but against the Euro, we saw the rate hit 16-month highs, beating anything seen in 2023 and the highest so far in 2024.

Following the report…

GBP / USD has seen the biggest impact, dropping to its second-lowest point of 2024.

This week saw positive inflation reports for the US. A double whammy for the Pound.

For GBP / EUR, despite the drop, the rate is still 2% higher than the previous 200-day rate average.

Elsewhere, it’s a similar story, the Pound has seen drops vs NZD, AUD, and CAD after the UK inflation news.

So what next, what should you do?

What’s next? Talk of interest rate cuts by the BoE has ramped up.

Increased pressure on the Pound could be coming in the summer months.

Currency Market Update - 18th February 2024

Pound Bounces After Latest Rate Decision

As expected the BoE has kept interest rates at 5.25%.

But the big news was two BoE members voted to hike the rate further.

Past chatter about interest rate cuts might not be around the corner, after all.

It’s likely to help the Pound’s sustained strength so far this year.

Pound to Euro continues to sit near 5-month highs.

However, the Pound has lost a bit of momentum against the Dollar following positive news broke from the USA about Non-Farm Payrolls and unemployment.

Looking forward, all eyes are on the UK’s Inflation Rate data (CPI).

This is set for release next week, on the Wednesday 14th.

Most did not forecast its growth in January.

It will be intriguing to see what’s next and the knock-on effect it could have on the Pound.

So what next, what should you do?

Currency Market Update - 1st February 2024

Key Alert - Interest Rate Decision Today

The Pound’s uptrend has continued vs the Euro.

Last week the GBP/EUR touched 5-month highs.

Today will be a good test of that strength.

We have a UK interest rate decision. While no change in rates is expected, it’s the talk around the decision that gets tongues wagging.

Could be a volatile session ahead.

Bear in mind other leading countries have begun to cut rates, so there is pressure building on the UK to follow suit.

For those interested in Pound to Euro, it’s always worth having a chat with your account manager so you are prepared for any opportunities.

As for Pound-to-Dollar, it’s been fairly choppy week so far.

We expect plenty of action later in the week. Non-farm payrolls come out Friday. It’s always a big number for the Dollar.

So what next, what should you do?

Pound Hits Highest Rate, Learn More

GB Pound Turns Positive vs Euro & Dollar

News of the UK’s fall in borrowing didn’t result in much upward movement.

However, reports have recently been released stating that the UK economy is in growth territory in January.

At the same time, the Eurozone has seen reports of the opposite.

This has led to the Pound hitting its highest rate vs the Euro in 4 months.

Most expect the ECB to hold their interest rates again once it is announced this week. With this, the Pound could continue to gain vs the Euro.

As for GBP/USD, it has been a week of uptrend in favour of the Pound, surprising forecasters.

Many were waiting for negative reports on the UK economy, and the Dollar was the one tipped to see gains.

Goes to show how hard it is to predict these markets!

But with releases around US durable goods and GDP set to be announced over the next two days, changes could still occur.

Elsewhere, following weeks of gains for the Pound, GBP/NZD has remained choppy over the last 7 days.

New Zealand announced a fall in inflation from 5.6% to 4.7%. This seems to have helped steady the ship.

That’s all for this week.

So what next, what should you do?

Currency Market Update - 18th January 2024

Surprising Boost for the Pound As UK Inflation Rises

Surprising news for the Pound this week with the release of UK inflation data.

UK inflation rose in December to 4.0% despite many thinking it would drop to 3.8%.

The first increase in the rate since February 2023.

The expectation was that drops were on the horizon for GBP with news of a fall in UK inflation.

In fact, the Pound-to-Euro rate is currently seeing its highest levels of 2024 so far.

With the ECB’s interest rate decision (January 25th) just around the corner, it’ll be intriguing to see if they continue to hold their rates steady.

For GBP/USD, the rate has for the most part seen a slight downtrend over the last 7 days, but the inflation news has caused a slight gain back, in favour of the Pound.

Elsewhere over the last 7 days, the Pound continues to see a slight uptrend against the Aussie and New Zealand Dollar.

So what next, what should you do?
