Pound awaits rate decision this week.

A few major events scheduled for later this week…

We have both US and UK interest rate decisions.

These are considered high impacts events. Currencies are very sensitive to interest rate news.

Sterling managed to gain against the Euro and US Dollar on Monday (yes, it was still trading despite the UK bank holiday).

That might have surprised a few investors as the Bank of England is expected to cut rates this Thursday.

The statement accompanying its decision will also be closely watched.

Some economists are calling for quicker cuts as global growth is expected to take a hit from Trump's tariffs.

However, the jump in EU in inflation late last week may make the Bank of England more cautious though.

The US Federal Reserve is also meeting this week on Wednesday.

The Dollar has taken a beating so far in 2025. So, a few encouraging words from the Fed may go a long way. No doubt, President Trump will be watching and tweeting too.

There’s plenty going on in the world right now.

So what next, what should you do?

If you have a currency requirement, it’s always worth reaching out so we can take advantage of the increased volatility.
