The Pound has strengthened further to huge 6-year highs against the Euro.

The conflict in Ukraine is still the main news story.

And the repercussions are affecting global currency markets.

The US Dollar has become a safe haven currency, at least for now.

So, despite highs against the Euro, the Pound has still nosedived against the US Dollar.

Investors are desperately hunting for safety and certainty.

Adding further uneasiness, the prices of commodities like oil and gas are soaring.

To counteract this, and high inflation generally, we could soon see interest rates increases.

This will have serious knock-on effects for exchange rates.

Nobody quite knows how far these extremes will go.

Guidance and support on your currency exchange could be crucial now.

We can help guide you through the current instability.

Events in Ukraine are dominating headlines right now.

In terms of currency markets, it’s made exchange rates more volatile.

Put simply, there’s more daily movement.

Overall, the trend in the Pound to Euro rate still looks strong – it’s near 5-year highs.

Whereas the trend in the Pound to US Dollar looks weak – it’s near 1-year lows.

But on a daily and weekly basis, exchange rates are moving around a lot.

More than ever, timing is important.

The fog of war has added another layer of uncertainty to an already jittery market.

It can be tricky trying to navigate foreign exchange markets alone.

Pound Sterling has held up quite well despite everything going on…

The situation in the Ukraine is clearly escalating.

Normally in times of geopolitical uncertainty, Pound Sterling would be sold off in favour of ‘safer’ currencies like USD, JPY and CHF.

Not so far.

So why has the Pound been so resilient?

I suspect it’s due to the strength of the UK economy.

The recent data on manufacturing and services confirmed the economy is springing back to life.

And with inflation at its highest level in 30 years, the Bank of England must awaken from its slumber.

Interest rate decisions are no longer as boring as a wet weekend in Wigan.

But it doesn’t make the Pound a sure thing.

Other countries are also raising rates and dare I whisper it… Brexit hasn’t gone away.

With so many issues at play… inflation, war, covid, Brexit… we expect currency markets to swirl in volatility.

That will provide risks and opportunities ahead.

How can we help you through the uncertainty?

If you have currency requirements over the coming weeks and months, please do get in touch.

Find out what’s driving GBP, EUR & USD

There’s two big themes in the currency markets right now…

Inflation and War.

Both have serious consequences for exchange rates.

First inflation. The Bank of England, along with other leading central banks are in a race to contain inflation by raising interest rates.

A few more hikes from the Bank of England are expected before the year is out.

This would be positive for the Pound.

In the US, it’s a similar situation. In fact, Goldman Sachs are now predicting seven rate rises during 2022! If so, the US Dollar would charge higher.

The EU is a bit of a laggard in tackling inflation. This is holding back the Euro.

So it’s a case of a ‘race to the top’ of the interest rate mountain. The higher the climb, the stronger the currency.

As for the threat of war, it’s anyone’s guess what Putin is planning.

But if things escalate it will favour safe-haven currencies like the US Dollar, Swiss Franc and Japanese Yen. The Pound is likely to get sold off in the event of trouble.

It can be tricky trying to navigate foreign exchange markets alone.

The last few years has all been about Brexit and Covid.

But in 2022 some new themes are emerging.

Right now it’s all about inflation and interest rates.

At first, only the Bank of England looked like raising interest rates this year.

It’s why the Pound started 2022 with a bang.

The US Federal Reserve is also expected to raise rates next month. This has caused the US Dollar to strengthen.

And in the past fortnight, Australia and the EU have indicated they will also rate raises in 2022 – despite saying the opposite only weeks ago!

As expected, the news has triggered a surge in the Euro and Australian Dollar.

The rapidly shifting landscape is causing big moves in exchange rates.

It’s why it pays to stay on top of what’s happening, so you can take advantage of favourable moves.
