Rate Alert: Pound surges yet again !

There’s plenty of action left in these markets…

In particular, the Pound seems determined to end the year with a bang.

This week we have seen big breakouts against AUD, CAD and NZD.

- GBP/AUD sits at 4 ½ year highs.
- GBP/CAD is up at 6 ½ highs.
- GBP/NZD is at 8 ½ highs.

While the GBP/EUR trend is a little more choppy, the rate is within touching distance of 2 ½ year highs.

What’s more the GBP/EUR rate has climbed over 5% in 2024 – a big move for a major pair.

The only weak point is GBP/USD.

It’s tumbled again due to Dollar dominance. The mighty USD is slaying all those before it.

A combination of Trump optimism and US Fed worry has the Dollar firing.

Appreciate we are heading into the festive period, but lower liquidity around Christmas can provide good market opportunities for both buyers and sellers.

Please do keep in touch with for your ongoing requirements.

Rate Alert: Pound surges to highest level since 2022

Despite the festive period, there’s still plenty of action…

In the last few days, the Pound has shot up against the Euro, Aussie, Kiwi and Canadian Dollars.

Pound to Euro is on the brink of its highest levels since the Brexit vote (8½ years ago).

How incredible is that.

And there’s more to come…

We have 9 of the G10 central banks with scheduled meetings in December.

Things kick off tomorrow with the European Central Bank rate decision.

Those thinking of buying Euros soon should be aware of this risk.

Next week the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England meet on Wednesday and Thursday respectively.

Currency markets are usually highly sensitive to these events.

With the expected volatility in and around Christmas, please make sure to reach out to our team with any currency concerns.

You can call us on 01872 487 500.
