The Euro has reached a 6-month high against the Pound.

This is after last week’s Bank of England interest rate hike.

The 0.25% rise brings interest rates to a 13-year high, to combat rising inflation.

The warning that inflation could soar to 10% was more of a surprise.

As a result, the Pound took a hit.

The Pound is looking vulnerable, with signs that the UK economy is starting to slow.

On the other hand, the US economy is fairing much better.

There’s also a 5-year high for the US Dollar against the Euro.

It’s a chaotic time economically and politically in the UK and beyond.

This has made the currency markets particularly volatile.

The Bank of England is expected to increase interest rates today.

The obvious move would see the Pound increase in strength, particularly against the Euro.

The aim is to curb rising inflation and the cost of living.

But there’s no guarantee the Pound will strengthen, and some experts are even predicting that it could weaken.

Local elections, continuing leadership challenges to Boris Johnson and economic uncertainty are all looming.

That’s a choppy outlook for the Pound.

So if the pound does rise, it could be wise to move quickly.

The Euro is also still struggling.

It’s had some modest upticks, but they are likely to be small until there are improvements in Ukraine.

The Dollar is still holding firm as the safe-haven currency.

With so much volatility out there, it pays to talk your currency transfer through with one of our representatives.

The Implications of the French Presidential Election in the EU

For lovers of France and all things French, you will know there was a recent Presidential election, if you want to learn more tune in to this online debate later today.

Emmanuel Macron has won the French Presidential Election, making him the first French President to serve two terms since Jacques Chirac. Despite having beaten Marine Le Pen in the second round, the latter’s support has increased by nearly 10% and low turnout continues to plague the French electoral system.

The Trans European Policy Studies Association (TEPSA) is organising the online debate: “The Implications of the French Presidential Election in the EU” on Tuesday 3 May 16:30-18:00 GMT.

TEPSA will gather five key experts to discuss the outcomes of the French Presidential Election on Europe and the wider world.

This week, the US Dollar hit its highest against the Pound since September 2020.

The Pound has struggled against the US Dollar as the US economy looks in better shape than the UK.

What’s more, the US Federal Reserve is expected to raise rates more aggressively than the Bank of England – which will add to Dollar strength.

The Euro has been slightly stronger this week, thanks to Sunday’s French Election results.

Plus, the ECB now seem to have a greater appetite for interest rate increases.

At last, some slight positivity for the Euro!

But with so much going on globally, we expect exchange rates to remain volatile.

If you have a currency transfer in mind, it’s worth discussing your timing with one of our experts.

The Pound’s near 6-year high against the Euro

This is a fantastic opportunity for Pound sellers and Euro buyers.

The main driving force behind this move is Europe’s slow reaction to inflation.

The European Central Bank hinted that it would delay any interest rate hikes.

On the other hand, the UK and US are expected to raise interest rates quickly to combat inflation.

And Europe’s close proximity to Ukraine only adds to the Euro’s instability.

But it’s not all one-way traffic. In the UK there are signs that the economy is slowing.

So, who knows whether this bright spot for the Pound will last long?
