Buckle in - Interest Rate cuts are coming

The first quarter of the year has passed already.

As we head into Q2, it’s all about interest rate cuts.

Who will be the first to act?

Futures markets indicate the US and EU will see their first rate cut in June. In the UK, expectations suggest a cut some time over the summer.

Rate cuts can have a big impact on exchange rates, so buckle in.

At the moment, Pound to Euro is in a bit of a holding pattern.

There looks to be opportunities for buyers and sellers right now, so it’s worth keeping a close eye on the daily swings.

The uptrend in Pound to Dollar seems to have stalled.

Again, I suspect investors are awaiting news on rate cuts.

So what next, what should you do?

Pound headed lower on rate cut rumours

The Pound has lost a bit of momentum lately

Both GBP-EUR and GBP-USD are hovering near 1-month lows.

The latest Bank of England meeting revealed that the last of the ‘hawks’ calling for rate rises have now changed their tune.

With inflation falling and the economy soft, the next move for UK interest rates looks almost certain to be down.

It’s weakening the Pound – lower rates, lower currency.

The Pound’s fall would be worse if it weren’t for the fact that the Euro and US Dollar are facing the same situation.

Futures markets indicate the US Fed, the ECB and the Bank of England are likely to make their first cut in June.

Ah, to be a central banker – just do what the other mob are doing.

So what next, what should you do?
