Pound up today on UK inflation news

There is a lot going on, let's take a closer look…

The Pound has been drifting down against the Euro and US Dollar over the past week.

But today it’s attempting a comeback…

The latest UK inflation data has come in above expectations this morning.

This is good news for the Pound as UK interest rates could now remain higher for longer.

While GBP/EUR has fallen back from 2-year highs, the overall trend still looks favourable.

As for the “Trump Rally” in the US Dollar, it seems to be settling down now.

GBP/USD currently looks oversold and due a bounce.

We have a bunch of speeches from central bankers throughout the week. Investors tend to be sensitive to any change of heart.

As always, if you have any specific requirements coming up, give us a call.

So what next, what should you do?

Pound to Euro hits 32-month highs

There is a lot going on, let us summarise things…

There’s been some big market moves since the US election…

GBP to EUR in particular has been very strong, touching 32-month highs only yesterday.

However, GBP to USD has headed the other way.

It’s now sitting right near 3-month lows.

Post-election, the Pound has also traded modestly down against the Aussie, Kiwi and Canadian Dollars.

As you’ve no doubt seen on the news, there is the potential for some significant changes ahead in US economic, trade and foreign policy.

While Donald Trump won’t be sworn in until Jan 20th next year, policy announcements are coming thick and fast.

The bottom line is we think there will be plenty of volatility ahead, so it’s not a time for complacency.

Markets poised for Election & Rate Decisions

It’s the calm before the storm…

We have a very busy week ahead kicking off later today with the US election.

We’re not here to make political comments but it could be a volatile few days ahead.

All currencies could be affected because investors could quickly reposition themselves if there is any kind of turmoil.

On Thursday we also have interest rates decisions from the Bank of England and the US Federal Reserve.

Both meetings have the potential for rate cuts as well as revised forward guidance.

Expect the Pound and US Dollar to be lively over Thursday.

With a busy period coming up, make sure you get in touch with the Key Currency team for any specific requirements you may have.

Pound Alert: UK Budget tomorrow

Some big events coming up…

Tomorrow, we have the UK Budget and then, next Tuesday, the US Election.

We also have interest rate decisions from both countries in the next fortnight.

As for the imminent UK Budget, we know tax hikes are coming but it’s also been leaked the government will try to offset any drag on the economy with ‘growth projects’.

Over the pond, the US Presidential Election is less than a week away.

According to bookmakers, Trump has a 62.5% chance of winning. This has been strengthening the Dollar.

While markets have been fairly tame the last few sessions, there are still some stand-out currency trends in place.

GBP / EUR remains near 2-year highs.

GBP / USD remains near 2-month lows.

Given the significant events to come in the US and UK, it might be worth discussing your upcoming requirements with one of our in-house currency experts.

So what next, what should you do?

Pound hits 2 ½ year highs against Euro.

Some big trends at the moment

Yes you read that right, the Pound to Euro has hit 2 ½ year highs against the Euro.

It’s a momentous move considering what’s happening.

With UK inflation now officially below the 2% target, the Bank of England is almost certain to cut rates in November and possibly December.

That is likely to weaken the Pound as the UK starts to close the interest rate gap with the EU.

Of course, the EU is expected to keep cutting too – but the UK has more scope to cut.

Pound to US Dollar is going the other way.

The GBP/USD exchange rate has just hit 2-month lows.

There’s a couple of reasons for this.

Firstly, the US Fed is expected to cut rates in a “slow and steady” fashion compared to more aggressive cuts expected in the UK.

Secondly, both polls and betting markets have swung towards a Trump victory in recent weeks. Trump’s economic policies are seen as more expansionary / inflationary, which is strengthening the Dollar.

We are now only 2 weeks away from US election day.

In terms of news this week, there’s a bunch of speeches scheduled from central bankers, including 3 from Bank of England members.

They tend to offer up clues on forward policy, so often move the markets.

Note also, we are also coming up to the October Budget.

That’s a risk event for the Pound as bad news is coming.

So what next, what should you do?
