Pound has surprise jump against Euro & Dollar

Here’s a quick summary of what’s happening:

- GBP-EUR & GBP-USD hovering near 3-month highs
- Markets bet on ECB rate cuts
- Bank of England dismissive of any UK cuts

Pound Sterling is maintaining its strength as traders believe the Bank of England will be the last to cut rates.

Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey dismissed the idea of rate cuts as “not happening”.

The Eurozone’s inflation rate has fallen to 2.4%, only marginally above the 2% target.

In the USA, the Fed also seems to be softening its stance.

Fed Governor Christopher Waller, who was previously pushing to higher rates, now says they could start lowering US interest rates in 3-5 months.

Anyway, the bottom line is the ‘policy divergence’ is good news for Sterling.

Buyers of Euro and Dollars might want to take advantage.

So what next, what should you do?

A good little run for the Pound lately

Pound Sterling has hit 3-month highs against the US Dollar and 1-month highs against the Euro.

The UK economy is showing more positive signs, with better data from the Manufacturing and Services sectors.

But I would say most of the Pound’s gains have come from weakness elsewhere.

Higher interest rates are starting to bite in all corners of the globe.

The latest data is pointing to a soft landing for the US economy, which is driving further Dollar weakness.

As for Europe, the German economy isn’t looking too flash – and it tends to lead the way for the rest of the Euro gang.

If you think UK interest rates are high, things could always be worse.

In Turkey, the central bank just raised their interest rates from 35% to 40%!

It’s what happens when inflation runs out of control – Turkey’s inflation rate is 10 times higher than the UK’s.

As for the poor Turkish Lira – it’s been decimated. Your Pounds fetch a king’s ransom (in Lira).

So what next, what should you do?

Property For Sale - To Suit Most Budgets

New Automatic Visa for Second Home Owners.

Or at least the possibility of one!

France’s upper house of parliament has decided to approve a bill giving British second-home owners an automatic long-stay visa right without any formalities.

The bill will be debated by députés (similar to British MPs), at the Assemblée Nationale in December. It can only be finalised and approved after that process.

The idea is that British second home owners will be able to spend more than 90 days out of 180 days (currently the maximum time allowed following Brexit), in France without making a formal application for a ‘temporary long-stay visa’.

British second home owners would then be able to travel freely to and from their second home without having to complete costly and complicated forms for long stay visas.

It is starting to sound like some good news for those with second homes and looking to buy property in France.

The Pound got an unexpected lift this week.

It was a bad news equals good news thing.

Investors have been anticipating a cut in UK interest rates could be possible given that inflation has been dropping considerably.

In fact, money markets had been pricing in that the first cut could come as early as May next year.

However, the Bank of England is having none of it.

The party poopers at Threadneedle Street made some pretty dour statements, including the surprisingly clear “it is far too early to be thinking about rate cuts”.

It’s given the Pound a shot in the arm (higher rates equals higher currency).

The Pound has been struggling against the Euro recently, but this latest news managed to break the downtrend.

Against the US Dollar, the Pound already had upward momentum and now sits near 2-month highs.

So what next, what should you do?
