2024 Starts With A Breakout

Plenty of movement out of the blocks in 2024.

The Pound is looking good against the Euro having been stuck for the past 10 days. Looks positive going forward.

Against the Dollar, the opposite has happened.

The Pound has lost a bit of ground in the last few sessions, albeit the GBP/USD rate hit 5-month highs in the last week of 2023.

I would suggest it’s just a bit of profit taking.

In terms of 2024, we think interest rate cuts are coming.

With 2024 being an election year in the US there will be pressure to cut rates.

We expect the US to lead the way with cuts (late Q1 or early Q2) and as usual, the other central banks will follow the leader.

In general, the Pound has upward momentum heading into 2024.

That’s because a UK recession was priced in by many economists and traders, but consensus has changed.

Outlook for Pound, Euro and Dollar 2024

A quick update on the latest trends.

Pound to Euro is trading sideways at the moment, moving in a fairly tight range.

Standing back though, the GBP / EUR rate is a lot closer to the high than the low for 2023.

The trend still looks positive for Pound to US Dollar (GBP/USD), having hit a three-month high last week.

Moving forward, we see 2024 as being a year of rate cuts.

Bear in mind, rate cuts tend to weaken a currency.

Markets expect the US Fed to lead the way (March is pencilled in) and the rest to follow.

We see the ECB joining in soon thereafter, but the UK holding back a few months (2nd half of 2024 perhaps).

The Bank of England seems to be the only major central bank still talking tough on inflation.

Everyone else is hinting at cuts. That is keeping the Pound strong for now.

With exchange rates currently 'stable', you might wish to secure a rate now and rest easy over the festive break.
