Pound Hits 6-week Low

After a miraculous run, the Pound has lost some of its lustre.

Against the US Dollar, GBP sits at a 6-week low.

Against the Euro, GBP is near a 3-week low.

Why?

Well, firstly, the Pound has had a strong run, so was vulnerable to profit-taking.

Secondly, the recent news has not helped the Pound.

In the US, a whopping $1.9 trillion stimulus package is about to unleashed, which is seen as good for the Dollar.

In the EU, there’s talk about banning vaccine exports to Britain – good for the Euro, bad for the Pound.

The UK still has a sizeable advantage in terms of its vaccine roll-out, so the current downturn in Sterling could well prove short-lived.

It is, however, a sharp reminder of how quickly currency trends and sentiment can change course.

We note the ‘net long’ (bullish) position in Sterling futures has shrunk considerably in the past 2 weeks. In other words, investors are getting nervous.

It’s why we are always looking to take advantage of favourable moves while keeping an eye on upcoming risks.
