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.

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.

Coronavirus continues to be the main news event.

The knock-on effects are very real.

Stock markets have lost trillions.

And currency markets are highly unstable.

In response to the outbreak, Central Banks around the world have begun to cut interest rates.

The UK could be the next to follow.

Money markets are pricing in almost a 100% chance of a rate cut by the Bank of England this month.

It wasn’t long ago that the next rate move was expected to be up.

The sudden change of outlook has taken the wind out of the Pound’s sails.

And with trade talks underway with the EU, it adds another layer of currency risk.

So what should You do?

There is so much uncertainty on the horizon that it’s difficult to foresee what is next for exchange rates.

If you would like to secure certainty over your currency transfers, you can lock-in a fixed exchange rate today.

As the Coronavirus spreads, currency markets could be facing increased volatility over the coming days and weeks.

The virus is now breaking out across Europe, with Italy reporting over 300 cases.

Currency markets will be sensitive to any developments.

At first, Asian markets were hit the hardest.

But as UK investors wake up to the growing threat, it could begin to damage the Pound.

In times of trouble, investors tend to dump Pound Sterling in favour of “safe havens”, such as the US Dollar and Swiss Franc.

If you have an upcoming currency requirement, it’s something you need to be aware of.

What should You do?

We are watching rates carefully and can assist you with the timing of your transfer.

It’s been a busy time in February.

With the Pound at 3.5 year highs against the Euro, people are actively taking advantage of the rate.

There’s been a lull in Brexit news, which has given the Pound a breather from the turbulence.

At the moment, the UK and the EU are in a war of words. Neither side wants to show any weakness ahead of trade negotiations.

European ministers are set to meet in Brussels next week to decide on their position.

While none of us has a crystal ball, I expect there will be more twists and turns to come.

If you value certainty above speculation, you may wish to lock-in an exchange rate so you can budget effectively and protect your money from currency risk.
