Pound vs Euro Turns Ugly

Last week was the first in a while where there was no clear direction in GBP/EUR.

We seem to be at a crossroads for the currency pair.

While it’s positive for the Pound that Boris is back at the helm, the Euro has been lifted as Spain, France and Germany are ahead of the UK in easing of restrictions.

It’s still too early to say who has suffered more economic damage. That will play out over the weeks and months ahead.

Put simply, the future direction of all the major currencies is highly uncertain – which means price trends are short-lived.

Sitting back and hoping for a specific rate may end up being be counterproductive and costly.

So what should You do?

The best strategy may simply be to trade the opportunities in front of you, pouncing on favourable rate moves when they arise.

Pound Pushing to 4 week Highs

The Pound has been nudging higher and is now sitting near 4 week highs against the Euro.

In a global sense, investors are feeling more positive.

It is benefiting the Pound relative to safe-haven currencies like the US Dollar and Euro.

This week attention will turn to the US Federal Reserve and European Central Bank. We will find out if further stimulus is announced.

It may end up a case of who has the biggest financial bazooka.

For those with currency requirements, please be aware that volatility in rates could escalate again as the spotlight moves from the health crisis to the economic crisis.

Act Now - there are always opportunities for you to get an improved rate.

During this period of lockdown, we have seen clients be pro-active when the Pound has had big swings.

If you would like to discuss your upcoming requirements, you can speak to a trade on 01872 487 500.

Is it a good time to buy or sell Pounds?

The truth is you only ever know the ‘perfect time’ to exchange your money once it’s been and gone.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

What we do know is the Pound has bounced over 7% from recent lows – which is tempting for those that need to buy Euros or Dollars.

The reason is things could get a lot worse for the Pound as Britain is lagging Europe’s recovery to Coronavirus.

Likewise, for those selling Euros into Pounds, the exchange rate remains historically attractive.

The ‘Brexit discount’ embedded in the Pound won’t last forever and is already dissipating.

At the end of the day, exchange rates are as much about taming greed and fear as they are about the rate itself.

How can we Help You?

As a currency specialist, we appreciate our clients want to get the best rate possible within their timeframe.

We can help structure a plan, discuss levels to aim for or ways to mitigate your currency risk.

You can speak to one of our account managers on 01872 487 500.

They may be working remotely, but they are glued to the screens as always.

Pound surges over 9% since March slump

As things stand, the Pound has clawed back much of its March losses.

To recap, panic selling led to the Pound getting savagely dumped in favour of the Euro and US Dollar.

With investors now becoming more optimistic, the Pound has since lifted.

We appreciate that most of the news recently has rightly focused on the ‘health crisis’.

The ‘economic crisis’ is coming next.

Globally, there will be a recession. That’s inevitable.

The true economic impact of the coronavirus won’t be fully realised for a while yet.

Given the extremity of events, there will be further significant shocks to come in the currency markets over the coming weeks and months.

If you need to move money abroad, please get in touch with a member of the Key Currency team and they will be on hand to discuss the timing and execution of the trade with you.

Managing your currency exposure effectively now will give you one less thing to worry about down the line.

We continue to provide our usual service. Our banking and payment systems are operating as normal.
