The Euro has finally staged a comeback.

Over the past week or so, it’s enjoyed its best run against both GBP and the Dollar so far this year.

It’s not a coincidence.

Two key pieces of news were released.

A report from the EU stated that most member states will have “sufficient vaccine supplies to immunise the majority of people by the end of June”.

What’s more, minutes from the European Central Bank’s latest meeting stated that the eurozone is recovering “faster than expected”.

Given the Euro’s poor performance in recent months, any good news is significant because of the negative expectations built into the exchange rate.

Of course, the UK and US continue apace with their vaccine rollout – but that’s effectively already baked into current rates.

Given the movements in rates over recent weeks, working with us closely can be beneficial in terms of optimising the rate you achieve.

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

A bit more volatility has crept into exchange rates lately.

Market data in the UK over the last week was a mixed bag, leading to opportunities for both buying and selling Pound Sterling at different times.

Some divergence in leading currency pairs is also developing.

Against the Euro, the Pound has the upper hand, sitting at a 1-year high.

But against the US Dollar, the Pound is losing ground, hovering near a 1-month low.

Part of our service is to monitor news and currency forecasts; where risks or opportunities could arise.

Together we can discuss a plan and find a solution to suit your situation.

After a miraculous run, the Pound has lost some of its lustre.

Against the US Dollar, GBP sits at a 6-week low.

Against the Euro, GBP is near a 3-week low.

Why?

Well, firstly, the Pound has had a strong run, so was vulnerable to profit-taking.

Secondly, the recent news has not helped the Pound.

In the US, a whopping $1.9 trillion stimulus package is about to unleashed, which is seen as good for the Dollar.

In the EU, there’s talk about banning vaccine exports to Britain – good for the Euro, bad for the Pound.

The UK still has a sizeable advantage in terms of its vaccine roll-out, so the current downturn in Sterling could well prove short-lived.

It is, however, a sharp reminder of how quickly currency trends and sentiment can change course.

We note the ‘net long’ (bullish) position in Sterling futures has shrunk considerably in the past 2 weeks. In other words, investors are getting nervous.

It’s why we are always looking to take advantage of favourable moves while keeping an eye on upcoming risks.

The Pound has been put to the test this week.

Against the Euro, GBP faced heavy selling yesterday only to then bounce right back and hit fresh highs for the year.

From a technical perspective, it will be seen as a bullish indicator.

We suspect the reason was more to do with the Euro.

The EU continues to drag its heels on the vaccine roll-out. It could stall an economic recovery.

And now Italy looks to be facing a 3rd wave of COVID cases – adding to the negative outlook.

Against the US Dollar, the picture is less clear.

GBP peaked against USD almost 3 weeks ago.

Since then, the rate has stayed in a tight range, but we know stability never lasts long in foreign exchange.

As always, we will be looking to take advantage of any favourable moves for our clients.

Volatility can be turned to your advantage.

Hi Sharon,

Just a quick note to say thanks for all your work on our behalf.

I know it’s your job and all that but it feels like you have gone out of your way to help us so that means you did :-)

We signed the compromis du vente last week so, on the assumption that nothing untoward happens, we will be moving in on the 3rd June. Funny that it should be the first house we saw but it always appealed and, apart from the house we made an offer on before that was not actually available, was the only one we felt we would be happy in.

Looking forward to it all now. Living in an empty house here as we’ve packed most stuff already!

Thanks again,

Gordon.

Thanks for your kind words, it is always nice to hear.
