Markets Potentially Expecting Peace

but buyer beware...

A certain degree of normality has returned to both stock markets and currency markets.

But is this the calm before the storm?

As has happened with other recent conflicts, there's initially a great deal of volatility due to uncertainty, but this see-sawing normally stabilises.

The obvious difference with the Iran situation is the uncertainty regarding potential actions taken by those in power.

Our account management team here at Regency FX are always on hand to talk about mitigating risk.

Putting potential geopolitical situations to one side, there's plenty to look at regarding scheduled market news that could affect exchange rates.

Tomorrow sees the UK's inflation report where annualised growth is expected to read 3.3%.

This number will influence the Bank of Englands interest rate decision next week where rates are expected to be held at 3.75%.

That's followed by global services and manufacturing data on Thursday which could well move exchange rates.
