The Pound continues its bullish trend.

Right now it is sitting on the cusp of 2-year highs against the Euro.

Investors are thinking that Omicron cases will peak in the UK soon.

That’s what happened in South Africa – a rapid rise followed by a rapid fall.

If things pan out that way, the pressure will be back on the Bank of England to tackle UK inflation.

In other words, investors’ are betting that interest rate rises are coming.

The first test will be early next month.

Market expectations are for 3-4 hikes this year alone, so the Bank of England needs to get a move on.

Of course if they choke (on their crumpets and jam), the Pound’s gains could easily go into reverse.

One thing’s for sure…

Nothing stays static for long in the currency markets.

With so much going on, uncertainty and volatility are here to stay.

But where there’s movement, there’s opportunities.

Happy New Year and Happy New High!

They say greed and fear drive markets, but hope can be a powerful force too.

Right now the Pound is riding high at 22-month highs against the Euro despite the large number of new Covid cases.

It seems investors are hopeful the UK government will resist calls for further restrictions and thereby keep the economic recovery on track.

In Europe, governments face a similar dilemma. But the policy response of each EU country is less clear.

Both the Pound and the Euro will stay sensitive to coronavirus reports, and the announcements of leaders and health officials.

We’re not out of the woods yet.

We expect exchange rates to remain volatile.

There’s been some erratic moves in exchange rates recently.

As you know, it’s far from a normal December.

If Christmas wasn’t imminent, you get the feeling we would already have new restrictions in place. There’s even talk of more lockdowns.

It’s the calm before the storm.

While the Pound has been see-sawing against the Euro, it continues to slide against the US Dollar.

This tells us investors are aware of the impending risk and are rotating towards safe-haven currencies.

We know in periods of uncertainty, volatility rises.

It makes the timing of your money transfers even more critical.

Consider using the window of opportunity before Christmas to protect yourself from the risks of adverse market movements.

Pound jumps but for how long?

The Bank of England raised interest rates for the first time in 3 years.

The Pound jumped against the Euro, US Dollar and most other currencies on the news.

It was a brave decision given how uncertain things are right now.

The Omicron variant is the Ebenezer Scrooge of Christmas.

If Boris Johnson introduces new restrictions once the turkey and brussels are eaten, the Pound’s gains could be very short-lived.

Make sure any upcoming transactions are protected against the risks of sudden market movements.

Consider taking advantage of current exchange rates while you can.

Why the Pound is on a Knife Edge ?

Normally, the wise old owls at the Bank of England would be looking to put their feet up, down a brandy or two, and see out the year.

But this year, they still have one meeting left and it will be very closely watched.

The Bank of England faces a difficult decision.

The economic data coming out of the UK is strong. Economic growth (GDP) data due out on December 10th may reinforce this view.

However, there is a clear threat of rising COVID cases. The spike in cases in Germany, France and Italy will likely spread to the UK.

Pound Sterling will be highly sensitive either way.

In these uncertain times, you may prefer to secure an exchange rate now rather than worry about the market movements that lie ahead.

Whatever your requirements, please get in touch with a member of the Key Currency team on 01872 487 500.

We can help guide you on the best strategy for your situation.
