The PM’s much-awaited Brexit plan is in turmoil:

The pound has plunged today against both the Euro and the Dollar.

After more resignations from her Cabinet, Theresa May’s is losing her grip on power.

It is rumoured Conservative backbenchers may be about to force a vote of no-confidence in her.

Looking ahead, volatility in the Pound is likely to intensify as the political storm unfolds.

In fact, a leading analyst has forecast that the Pound could fall by a further 4% from here.

If you have GBP exposure, doing nothing in times like this is speculation.

Just a Quick Heads-Up For You…

Yesterday the Pound spiked against the Euro to its highest level in 5 months.

In fact, since the beginning of September alone you are 4% better off.

On a £100,000 transfer, that’s a gain of £4,000.

Of course, given the volatile nature of currency markets, the situation may change quickly.

At present, the Pound continues to be held hostage by Brexit. We live in highly uncertain times.

If you are looking to buy Euros with Sterling, you might want to take advantage of recent movement and secure a favourable rate of exchange.

GBP: Sterling rises on rumours

According to the Sunday Times, Theresa May has come up with a new plan to break the Brexit deadlock and allow the UK to remain within the EU customs union.

The government has officially claimed the report is simply “speculation”.

Any deal with Brussels would need to win approval from the British Parliament – a difficult task as politicians on both sides remain deeply divided.

With a light calendar this week, the Pound will be highly susceptible to Brexit rumours and speculation.

EUR: Coming unstuck?

It’s only 2 months before the European Central Bank is meant to begin winding down its bond-buying programme – a remnant from the financial crisis.

But traders are starting to wonder whether this is actually going to happen. The EU has lost economic momentum and there is growing friction with Italy over its proposed budget.

Speaking of Italy, the war of words continues. Over the weekend, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker threatened the Italians saying “For the first time someone is saying the (EU budget) rules are of no interest to us. That will have consequences”. The longer this drags on, the more it will damage the Euro.

USD: Chinese whispers

The Dollar has been seesawing on rumours surrounding a new China-US trade deal.

The usual Trump-style negotiations are taking place – a combination of opportunities and threats (the old carrot and stick). The President said a lot of progress has been made so far but also got one of his spokespeople to warn he would “pull the trigger" on additional tariffs on China, depending of course on how talks go.

Meanwhile the US is focused on mid-term elections, so this week is all about politics not economics.

GBP: Budget this afternoon

The Pound is struggling under the dark clouds of Brexit. Last week it ended near 2-month lows against the Dollar and 3-week lows against the Euro.

The latest rumours are that Theresa May has put talks with the EU on hold as she can’t get her own cabinet to agree on what they want! It’s a sorry situation.

This afternoon we have the Budget. It’s the government’s chance to put a positive spin on the UK’s outlook, although the Chancellor had to admit over the weekend that a new budget would be needed if a Brexit deal can’t be reached.

On Thursday this week we have the monthly Bank of England (BoE) rate meeting alongside the latest Inflation Report. The BoE has struck a more cautious tone lately as fears mount that a no-deal Brexit is a serious possibility.

EUR: Italy looking lonely

The Italians continue to cause a stir in the Euro-zone. Their big-spending draft budget has gone down like a lead balloon.

Now EU leaders want to sit down and discuss it at their next meeting, despite requests from Italy to postpone the talks. The friction is not helping sentiment towards the Euro.

USD: Strong for good reason

The Dollar ended last week on strong footing.

With global stock markets still shaky, it is adding to the appeal of safe-haven currencies like the Dollar.

In addition, the US economy delivered better than expected GDP numbers on Friday, which also gave the Dollar an extra boost.

This week there will be plenty to digest including Consumer Confidence on Tuesday and Non-Farms Payrolls on Friday.

GBP: Hopes dashed, Pound smashed

Things really unravelled this week. The moment we’ve all been waiting for came and went. After countless rumours of an imminent Brexit deal it seems we are still at a stalemate with the EU over the Irish border.

So much so that the European leaders have even cancelled next month’s summit due to a lack of progress – there’s nothing to talk about.

On the domestic front, the Pound also retreated following soft readings for UK inflation and retail spending.

Just goes to show how quickly things can change in the foreign exchange markets.

EUR: What the XXXX is Italy up to?

We are used to Italy changing governments and forming complicated coalitions. But it hasn’t tended to cause problems for the rest of the EU…until now.

The current Italian government has proposed a ‘free-spending’ budget that is in serious breach of EU rules. Despite receiving a barrage of criticism, they are showing no signs of backing down.

This is causing disharmony in the EU and undermining the credibility of the Euro.

USD: Fear strikes, Dollar spikes

With stock markets suffering another big fall yesterday, risk aversion saw investors taking cover in the safety of the Dollar.

Exacerbating the move was the fact that the Pound and the Euro were having a bad day at the office for the reasons mentioned above.

Investors are still betting that more rate rises are coming in the US, so the appeal of the Dollar remains intact.
