Bumper week: countdown to UK rate decision

Lots happening right now…

The most important are the interest rate decisions in the US and UK.

We have the US Federal Reserve on Wednesday.

Then it’s the Bank of England’s turn on Thursday.

Not only that, we also have the Bank of Japan and Swiss National Bank making rate announcements - it’s a frenzy of central bank announcements!

Currency markets are always super sensitive to rate decisions.

It’s particularly precarious right now – the economic news has been pretty weak everywhere.

This is evident by the steep fall in global stock markets.

Bear in mind, the tariff trade wars are only just beginning, and investors fear they could trigger a recession.

This is weighing heavily on the US Dollar.

GBP / USD is at a 2-month high as the Dollar crumbles.

The trend in GBP / EUR is less clear.

Over the past week, it’s been volatile, but range bound.

So what next, what should you do?

As always, it’s best to keep a close eye on exchange rates so you can make the most of the opportunities.
