US Dollar highest against Pound since 2020

A poor economic outlook for the UK has seen the Pound stumble recently.

With all the troubles in the world, investors are gravitating towards safe-haven currencies.

This has led to the Dollar reaching an 18-month high against the Pound.

Inflation is still a red-hot topic.

In the US it’s growing at the fastest rate for over 40 years. The UK isn’t far behind, with inflation hitting 30-year highs.

The general feeling is that global central banks are late in acting to curb inflation.

But the US Fed is being the most aggressive in its efforts – more positivity for the Dollar.

Overall, the Pound is in second place to the Dollar, but still clearly ahead of the slumping Euro.

French elections have helped the Euro rise ever so slightly.

But more sanctions on Russia are brewing, which is ultimately likely to drag it back to reality.

Uncertainty continues to make exchange rates volatile.

If you have a currency transfer in mind, it’s worth discussing it with your account manager.

Their support could be crucial and potentially save you thousands.

Currency Exchange News

US Dollar near 18-month highs

For the Pound, it’s been another bumpy week.

Going forward, inflation and the threat of ‘stagflation’ are likely to keep on throwing big punches.

At present, the Pound seems caught in the middle of a strong Dollar and weak Euro.

In recent weeks, the US Dollar has continued making gains.

In fact, it’s hovering near 18-month highs against the Euro.

The Dollar’s strong position has also been helped by positive US jobs numbers.

With the Euro, to put it bluntly, it’s the opposite.

There’s pressure across the continent for further tough sanctions on Russian oil.

But with Europe dependent on Russian oil, the Euro could well take another dip.

At the moment, the only thing we can bank on is continued volatility.

Which is why it’s important to discuss the right time to exchange your money.

If you have a transfer in mind for the coming days, weeks or months, please do get in touch.

Peace talks bring Euro positivity

We’re finally seeing some optimism as Ukraine and Russia begin peace talks in Istanbul.

With the conflict on its doorstep, the Euro is closely linked to the outcome of the talks.

So initially, the Euro has seen a modest rise against the Pound and US Dollar.

Unfortunately, though, experts aren’t expecting a miraculous solution.

Any peace agreement will likely take compromises and time.

This means the Euro faces uncertainty for the foreseeable future.

Back in Blighty, inflation and energy prices are the main driving forces on the Pound.

The Pound dipped against the Euro and US Dollar as we battle the highest inflation for 30 years!

But it has stabilised a little after sharp losses earlier this week.

Ultimately though, the UK’s pessimistic economic outlook still looms over the Pound.

There’s no simple fix to solve rising living costs.

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

This has been the only real mainstay in recent weeks.

But as each currency pair fluctuates rapidly, expert guidance is just as important as ever.

If you’re looking to make a currency transfer in the coming days, weeks or months, please do get in touch.

Big days ahead for Pound and Dollar

It’s going to be a big end to the week for currency markets.

On Thursday, the Bank of England meets to decide on interest rates.

An increase is expected, but by how much is the real question?

It’s been touted to be anywhere between 0.25% and 0.75%.

A small hike could send the Pound tumbling, whereas a big hike is likely to see the Pound shoot up.

The UK isn’t alone in raising rates.

Later today, the US Federal Reserve is also expected to hike rates, which will lead to added volatility.

How far each country decides to go will trigger market movements.

If you have a transfer in mind, it could pay to move before more instability comes.

Our team can help guide you on exchange rates.

Please do get in touch if you need to make a transfer in the coming days or weeks.

Give us a call on 01872 487 500 to discuss the best time for your money transfer.

Pound at 6 Year Highs

The Pound has strengthened further to huge 6-year highs against the Euro.

The conflict in Ukraine is still the main news story.

And the repercussions are affecting global currency markets.

The US Dollar has become a safe haven currency, at least for now.

So, despite highs against the Euro, the Pound has still nosedived against the US Dollar.

Investors are desperately hunting for safety and certainty.

Adding further uneasiness, the prices of commodities like oil and gas are soaring.

To counteract this, and high inflation generally, we could soon see interest rates increases.

This will have serious knock-on effects for exchange rates.

Nobody quite knows how far these extremes will go.

Guidance and support on your currency exchange could be crucial now.

We can help guide you through the current instability.

If you’re looking to make a transfer in the coming days or weeks, please get in touch.

Give us a call on 01872 487 500 to discuss the best time to make your currency exchange.
