US Dollar hits 18-month high against Pound

This week, the US Dollar hit its highest against the Pound since September 2020.

The Pound has struggled against the US Dollar as the US economy looks in better shape than the UK.

What’s more, the US Federal Reserve is expected to raise rates more aggressively than the Bank of England – which will add to Dollar strength.

The Euro has been slightly stronger this week, thanks to Sunday’s French Election results.

Plus, the ECB now seem to have a greater appetite for interest rate increases.

At last, some slight positivity for the Euro!

But with so much going on globally, we expect exchange rates to remain volatile.

If you have a currency transfer in mind, it’s worth discussing your timing with one of our experts.

Pound nears 6-year high against Euro

The Pound’s near 6-year high against the Euro

This is a fantastic opportunity for Pound sellers and Euro buyers.

The main driving force behind this move is Europe’s slow reaction to inflation.

The European Central Bank hinted that it would delay any interest rate hikes.

On the other hand, the UK and US are expected to raise interest rates quickly to combat inflation.

And Europe’s close proximity to Ukraine only adds to the Euro’s instability.

But it’s not all one-way traffic. In the UK there are signs that the economy is slowing.

So, who knows whether this bright spot for the Pound will last long?

If you have a currency transfer in mind and want to take advantage of the recent highs, get in touch.

US Dollar highest against Pound since 2020

A poor economic outlook for the UK has seen the Pound stumble recently.

With all the troubles in the world, investors are gravitating towards safe-haven currencies.

This has led to the Dollar reaching an 18-month high against the Pound.

Inflation is still a red-hot topic.

In the US it’s growing at the fastest rate for over 40 years. The UK isn’t far behind, with inflation hitting 30-year highs.

The general feeling is that global central banks are late in acting to curb inflation.

But the US Fed is being the most aggressive in its efforts – more positivity for the Dollar.

Overall, the Pound is in second place to the Dollar, but still clearly ahead of the slumping Euro.

French elections have helped the Euro rise ever so slightly.

But more sanctions on Russia are brewing, which is ultimately likely to drag it back to reality.

Uncertainty continues to make exchange rates volatile.

If you have a currency transfer in mind, it’s worth discussing it with your account manager.

Their support could be crucial and potentially save you thousands.

Currency Exchange News

US Dollar near 18-month highs

For the Pound, it’s been another bumpy week.

Going forward, inflation and the threat of ‘stagflation’ are likely to keep on throwing big punches.

At present, the Pound seems caught in the middle of a strong Dollar and weak Euro.

In recent weeks, the US Dollar has continued making gains.

In fact, it’s hovering near 18-month highs against the Euro.

The Dollar’s strong position has also been helped by positive US jobs numbers.

With the Euro, to put it bluntly, it’s the opposite.

There’s pressure across the continent for further tough sanctions on Russian oil.

But with Europe dependent on Russian oil, the Euro could well take another dip.

At the moment, the only thing we can bank on is continued volatility.

Which is why it’s important to discuss the right time to exchange your money.

If you have a transfer in mind for the coming days, weeks or months, please do get in touch.

Peace talks bring Euro positivity

We’re finally seeing some optimism as Ukraine and Russia begin peace talks in Istanbul.

With the conflict on its doorstep, the Euro is closely linked to the outcome of the talks.

So initially, the Euro has seen a modest rise against the Pound and US Dollar.

Unfortunately, though, experts aren’t expecting a miraculous solution.

Any peace agreement will likely take compromises and time.

This means the Euro faces uncertainty for the foreseeable future.

Back in Blighty, inflation and energy prices are the main driving forces on the Pound.

The Pound dipped against the Euro and US Dollar as we battle the highest inflation for 30 years!

But it has stabilised a little after sharp losses earlier this week.

Ultimately though, the UK’s pessimistic economic outlook still looms over the Pound.

There’s no simple fix to solve rising living costs.

The Dollar is still holding firm as the safe-haven currency of choice.

This has been the only real mainstay in recent weeks.

But as each currency pair fluctuates rapidly, expert guidance is just as important as ever.

If you’re looking to make a currency transfer in the coming days, weeks or months, please do get in touch.
