UK recession risk looms over the Pound
The UK looks to be drifting towards recession.
Pressure grows as inflation continues to soar to levels not seen in 40 years.
To make matters worse, real wages are falling at the fastest pace on record.
As a result, the Pound hit a 16-day low against the Euro last week.
Things look tough for the Pound, but the Eurozone also has its problems.
Europe is facing reduced gas supplies from Russia which could cause a full-blown energy crisis.
Elsewhere, the US Dollar remains in a stronger position.
The US is seeing faster improvement in curbing inflation, which is steadying the Dollar.
Volatility in currency markets looks set to continue with so much global economic uncertainty.
