Is the Pound vulnerable to downside risk right now?

Does the upcoming election offer more downside than upside for the Pound?

Bear in mind that the Pound is already up 8% since early September on expectations of a clear win for the Conservatives.

But two polls in two days have shown Labour is closing the gap.

Remember, even if Labour doesn’t win the election, anything less than a big majority for Conservatives will lead to more Brexit uncertainty.

And given there’s a lot of ‘good news’ already built into the Pound, it leaves the rate vulnerable to any setbacks – as seen this week.

Exchange rates often do the opposite to what you think because what is expected is already built into the rate before it happens – so only the unexpected can trigger a big move in the rate.

Right now anything other than a clear win for the Conservatives is the ‘unexpected’– which is why the Pound could face downside risk over the coming weeks.
