The Pound has staged a comeback since last week.
And with good reason…
This Thursday we have the latest Bank of England meeting.
The market is pricing in an 85% chance of a hike in UK interest rates.
This would be seen as positive for the Pound.
In the US, the Federal Reserve is headed the same way. They are expected to raise rates next month.
This is boosting the appeal of the US Dollar.
Europe is lagging behind. The ECB is not under the same pressure to raise rates.
Put simply, the difference in interest rate policy is good for the Pound and US Dollar and bad for the Euro.
That’s the state of play right now.
But you never know what’s around the corner…
A political scandal, a recession, another Covid variant, even a war is possible.
That’s why it makes sense to take advantage of favourable moves.
It gives you certainty.
