Currency markets continue to be driven by coronavirus developments.

We are operating normally, without disruption to service and our banking and payment systems remain unaffected.

Every day it seems like we have a month’s worth of news, which is causing extraordinary volatility in exchange rates.

The Pound has been hit by a ‘flight to safety’ into US Dollars and the Euro.

It’s certainly been a good time to transfer money back to the UK, but we also have clients keen to protect their pensions, bills and other regular overseas payments from a further weakening of the Pound.

We are here to help in these unprecedented times.

There is no disruption to our service. Our banking and payment systems remain unaffected.

If you have a currency requirement or are just worried about your foreign exchange exposure, please do get in touch.

The US Dollar has jumped to 35-year highs against Pound Sterling.

It’s perhaps even more surprising as the US government is trying to depreciate the Dollar.

But as investors panic, they have driven USD to extreme levels (well beyond any fundamental reasons).

It’s a great opportunity for those holding US Dollars and wanting to convert them back to Pounds.

In the space of a single month, you have profited by 11.7%.

As you can imagine, moves of this magnitude don’t come along very often.

If you hold USD and want to take advantage of the valuation spike, please get in touch.

Coronavirus is causing major moves in currency markets.

In particular, the Euro to Pound rate has seen a huge swing in a matter of days.

As things stand, the Euro is sitting near 35-year highs.

It’s very fortunate for people holding Euros and waiting for a good time to bring them back to the UK.

You are 12.9% better-off than you were only 1 month ago!

Needless to say, moves of this scale are a rare event.

If you hold Euros and want to take advantage of current rates, get in touch straight away.

I don’t need to tell you what’s dominating currency markets.

As you would expect, all currencies have become highly sensitive to the latest Coronavirus developments.

In relative terms, the Pound has not fared well.

Last week it fell to 5-month lows against the Euro and US Dollar.

That might come as a surprise given Europe has been hit harder by the virus than the UK.

But in times of turmoil, investors look for safe places to park their money.

The US Dollar, Euro, Swiss Franc and Japanese Yen are considered less risky than Pound Sterling.

That’s the perception anyway. And perception becomes reality.

It’s impossible to predict how bad things will get or when things will recover.

There are signs of stability in China – which offers hope. But it may be too late to prevent a global recession.

We appreciate that many people still have currency requirements and may be looking for guidance and support.

If you wish to discuss your plans, we are open as usual. Call us on 01872 487 500.

While the mornings are getting lighter, so is Sterling.

This morning the Bank of England cut interest rates to a record low in response to the Coronavirus outbreak.

Later today, more stimulus is expected in the first Budget of Boris Johnson's majority government.

Historically, Pound Sterling has not performed well in moments of crisis.

The usual ‘risk aversion’ rules look to be kicking in.

Sterling has been selling off against JPY/EUR/USD/CHF – which are seen as 'safe havens' in times of trouble.

With all that's going on, the sentiment around currencies is changing extremely quickly.

If you would like to gain some certainty, consider securing an exchange rate today.
