Pound down but not out
Weather outlook: sunny
Pound outlook: cloudy with the chance of a storm
Last week the Bank of England raised rates again (as expected) but also warned the UK could be facing a recession lasting 5 quarters.
The Pound is also grappling with political uncertainty as we await a new Prime Minister – though the odds suggest this is a done deal.
However, there could be something big brewing…
The recent talk is that we may be getting close to ‘peak inflation’.
It explains why stock markets are suddenly surging back up.
If that becomes true, then the doomsayers may retreat to their caves and those currencies hardest hit (such as the Pound) would have the most to gain.
