Something strange is happening…

Who should you believe in this market?

There is a lot of conflicting news swirling around right now.

Yesterday the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, sent Sterling higher after he said Parliament could vote on a revised Brexit deal as early as next week.

But later in the day government sources claimed Britain hasn’t actually secured any changes to the deal.

It’s a reminder of the old market saying “Follow the price, not the news”.

For those looking to buy Euros or Dollars with their Pound Sterling here’s what you need to know:

You are in a significantly better position than at the start of the year.

Please get in touch if you would like to mitigate some of your risk and take advantage of the recent moves.

Opportunity abounds in this market…

Yesterday saw the Pound reach a "Two Week High" against the Dollar and new highs for the month against the Euro.

As always, most of the movement was down to Brexit news and rumours.

Theresa May is headed to Brussels today in an attempt to salvage her Brexit deal.

The ECB President, Jean Claude Juncker, remains less hopeful saying he is not expecting a breakthrough.

Still, the size of the upward move in Sterling underlines its sensitivity ahead of Brexit.

Currency markets are likely to remain volatile for the foreseeable future, so it may be a good idea to take advantage of moves in your favour.

Will the Pound Pop or Drop?

Only 6 weeks to go until Brexit Day… and we’re still going nowhere fast.

Brussels watches on as the UK argues, debates and fights itself over and over again.

Given all the fear of a no-deal Brexit you might expect the Pound to be getting battered.

But the sheer lack of progress has also opened the possibility of an extension or even a second referendum – both of which are Pound positive.

So despite the pressure-cooker situation, GBP is holding up for now.

Don’t be fooled by the lack of volatility though.

There’s a lot at stake here. It’s just that the outcome is so up in the air, so the Pound doesn’t know whether to pop or drop… yet.

As we’ve been saying for a while, a lot of UK businesses have been preparing for the events that lie ahead by locking-in exchange rates today. And you can too.

With Spring just around the corner, you may be considering buying a property abroad.

While the media is focused on Brexit, for property buyers the situation is, thankfully, far less complicated.

That’s because your rights to own a property abroad are not affected at all by Brexit.

In fact, the latest data shows that British buyers still represent the largest group of foreign nationals investing in Spanish and French real estate.

Buyers aren’t putting their plans on hold; they’re just getting on with enjoying their lives.

In terms of currency markets, the Pound remains sensitive to Brexit news.

So if you’re planning to buy this year you may wish to “Brexit-proof” your Sterling budget with a Forward Contract.

It’s just one of the options we can offer you.

Another Nail-Biting Week Ahead!

The Pound is set for another nail-biting week as we await further Brexit news…

On a positive front, the UK and Switzerland have signed a “Mind the Gap” deal on Sunday to keep trading as normal post Brexit.

And the press is reporting that Labour may be willing to compromise and strike a deal with the Tories, which could mean the PM doesn’t have to renegotiate with the EU.

While there are hopes of a compromise, not everyone is in good spirits.

The Confederation of British Industry yesterday said Brexit is an “unfolding nightmare” as major trade partners like Japan and South Korea were reluctant to sign deals with the UK until they knew what the future holds.

While time pressure may yield a last-minute result, we still see an extension of the Brexit deadline as the most likely outcome. After all, kicking the can down the road is what politicians do best.

Over the coming weeks and months, it’s inevitable that the Pound will be volatile given the importance of this historical event.

So where does that leave you?

You have a choice to make...

1. You can be passive -

You simply accept whatever happens next to the value of your money.

2. You can be proactive -

You can talk to us to take advantage of any currency moves in your favour.
