A quick summary of what’s happening

Pound jumps to 1-month high against Euro

The Pound is having a good run against the Euro, Aussie and Kiwi, but is struggling against the US Dollar.

The US Dollar is exceptionally strong against other major currencies at the moment.

We attribute a lot of that to geopolitical fear as things are kicking off in the Middle East. It’s known as a ‘risk-off’ market.

The other key factor is that opinion on interest rates is changing rapidly.

The reason is inflation is proving to be sticky.

Today’s UK inflation reading is a case in point. Once against, inflation has come in above expectations.

Core inflation is still sitting above 4% - more than double the Bank of England’s 2% target.

Hard to see any rate cuts happening without a big drop in inflation.

The US Fed has come to the same sort of conclusion, pushing back expectations of cuts until later this year.

The Europeans are less clear but you would think they are largely in the same boat.

Moreover, there’s a fair bit of volatility in exchange rates right now.
