The Pound back on the move

Lots happening right now…

At the centre of most things is Donald Trump.

Following the Trump / Zelensky meeting, the normally tight Germans are looking to spend hundreds of billions of Euros on defence and infrastructure investments.

This has given the Euro a boost with EUR/GBP sitting at 2-week highs.

The US dollar has gone the other way. Trump’s tariff talk has got investors nervous with fears it will reignite US inflation and dent economic growth.

Investors also believe the UK (and Pound) will escape any real damage from US tariffs.

As a result, GBP / USD has jumped to new highs for 2025.

Plenty ahead this week…

On Thursday we have a European rate decision.

Another cut could well happen, which may eat away at the Euros recent gains.

We also have the Bank of England’s Catherine Mann due to give a scintillating speech – investors will be listening for clues.

On Friday, there is both the latest US jobs data and a speech from the Fed Chairman himself.

So what next, what should you do?
