Pound Sterling has been in a nervous mood recently.
A little surprising given we have a booming housing market, bumper business confidence and 50% of the UK adult population now fully vaccinated.
When a currency fails to make gains on positive news it can be a warning sign that the good news is already in the price.
There’s no doubt the Pound’s had a strong run.
Only last week, GBP hit a 3-week high against the Euro, over 3-year highs versus the US Dollar, and over 6-month highs versus the Aussie Dollar.
Perhaps it’s what’s on the horizon that’s worrying traders.
Brexit tensions are simmering and attention is now turning to the next stage of lockdown easing.
All eyes (and ears) will be on Parliament next Monday.
The announcement is likely to determine the direction of travel and direction of the Pound.
It’s an upcoming risk to be aware of.
