The Euro has had a good run lately.

The Euro has climbed to its highest levels against the Pound since the 10th of May.

It could prove temporary.

The unique differentiator for the Pound in the last 6 months has been the rapid vaccine roll-out.

At present, 72% of UK adults have had their first vaccine.

In comparison, it’s only 35% in Europe - less than half the UK’s level.

The expected economic benefits of this have boosted the Pound.

In fact, the Pound’s performance so far in 2021 has been second only to the Canadian dollar among the world’s 10 leading currencies.

So the recent wobble in the Pound may just be profit taking as restless traders await fresh economic data.

So what can you do about this situation?

As always, you never want to take favourable rates for granted.

Sometimes currency markets look far into the future and begin to adjust exchange rates well before new events occur.

In the latter half of 2021, the marginal advantage of the vaccine roll-out will shift from the UK to Europe, and the Pound’s gain could unwind.

After a few wobbly weeks, the Pound has regained momentum.

Against the US Dollar, GBP is sitting at 3-month highs and is within a whisker of 3-year highs.

While the current trend against the Euro is not as obvious, the Pound is right near the top end of its 1-year range.

Recently the Pound has benefited from data showing the UK economy is rebounding strongly.

The same can’t be said for the Euro, which has been weighed down by the fact that the Eurozone bloc slipped into a double-dip recession in the first quarter of this year.

While COVID news in the UK continues to be positive, we think the upside is already priced into the Pound. If anything, the Pound may be at risk due to growing concerns over the spread of the Indian variant of the coronavirus.

In contrast, the European vaccine programme has a long way to go – which sounds negative – but actually leaves plenty of upside for the Euro ahead.

So when should YOU Exchange your money?

We appreciate it’s never easy to decide on the right time to exchange your money.

There’s always an excuse to defer.

However, with all the uncertainty that lies ahead, you may consider locking in an exchange rate.

It will allow you to make firm plans, budget more effectively, and give you one less thing to worry about.

What’s driving exchange rates right now?

Investors are looking beyond Covid…

Most of the recent news about exchange rates is centred on politics or the economy.

In the UK, there is an immediate risk from the Scottish elections.

Talk of another Scottish referendum would be extremely damaging for the Pound.

In Europe, economic sentiment is at its highest level since September 2018, despite the threat of a third Covid wave.

And in the US, a string of positive data, including GDP growth and falling jobless claims, has given the Dollar a boost. The Federal Reserve is even considering an interest rate rise as the US economy could overheat.

Basically, there are signs of recovery across the board.

Currencies have gone from a race to the bottom to a race back up.

One thing’s for sure – the news never stops – which means exchange rates never sit still for long.

Make sure any upcoming transactions are protected against the risks of sudden market movements.
