The Pound got an unexpected lift this week.
It was a bad news equals good news thing.
Investors have been anticipating a cut in UK interest rates could be possible given that inflation has been dropping considerably.
In fact, money markets had been pricing in that the first cut could come as early as May next year.
However, the Bank of England is having none of it.
The party poopers at Threadneedle Street made some pretty dour statements, including the surprisingly clear “it is far too early to be thinking about rate cuts”.
It’s given the Pound a shot in the arm (higher rates equals higher currency).
The Pound has been struggling against the Euro recently, but this latest news managed to break the downtrend.
Against the US Dollar, the Pound already had upward momentum and now sits near 2-month highs.
