Pound jumps to 3 month highs

After a few wobbly weeks, the Pound has regained momentum.

Against the US Dollar, GBP is sitting at 3-month highs and is within a whisker of 3-year highs.

While the current trend against the Euro is not as obvious, the Pound is right near the top end of its 1-year range.

Recently the Pound has benefited from data showing the UK economy is rebounding strongly.

The same can’t be said for the Euro, which has been weighed down by the fact that the Eurozone bloc slipped into a double-dip recession in the first quarter of this year.

While COVID news in the UK continues to be positive, we think the upside is already priced into the Pound. If anything, the Pound may be at risk due to growing concerns over the spread of the Indian variant of the coronavirus.

In contrast, the European vaccine programme has a long way to go – which sounds negative – but actually leaves plenty of upside for the Euro ahead.
