Pound fluctuates as UK inflation bites
The message is "It’s still a good time for buyers of Euros or Dollars"
But for how long?
This morning the latest inflation data has been released.
UK inflation has come in at 8.7% - much higher than elsewhere.
By comparison, US inflation is down to 4.0% and the Eurozone down to 6.1%.
The Pound’s strength in recent months is because the Bank of England is going to have to remain very tight with monetary policy.
Tomorrow the Bank of England meets again and another interest rate hike is almost a done deal.
But there’s only so much the UK economy can take.
So the outlook for the Pound is less certain over the coming months.
Last week the Pound hit a 14-month high against the US Dollar and a 10-month high against the Euro.
It’s a run that may be hard to sustain.
Over time, the UK is likely to get in sync with its peers and the Pound’s advantage will end.
So what next, what should you do?
The message is it’s still a good time for buyers of Euros or Dollars.
