Pound has surprise jump against Euro & Dollar
Here’s a quick summary of what’s happening:
- GBP-EUR & GBP-USD hovering near 3-month highs
- Markets bet on ECB rate cuts
- Bank of England dismissive of any UK cuts
Pound Sterling is maintaining its strength as traders believe the Bank of England will be the last to cut rates.
Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey dismissed the idea of rate cuts as “not happening”.
The Eurozone’s inflation rate has fallen to 2.4%, only marginally above the 2% target.
In the USA, the Fed also seems to be softening its stance.
Fed Governor Christopher Waller, who was previously pushing to higher rates, now says they could start lowering US interest rates in 3-5 months.
Anyway, the bottom line is the ‘policy divergence’ is good news for Sterling.
Buyers of Euro and Dollars might want to take advantage.
