Sterling Recovers.
The question is will the recovery keep running...
Sterling ended the year on the ascension against both the Dollar and the Euro.
It started the year in similar fashion reaching 3 month highs this week.
The question is will the recovery keep running.
With global tensions rumbling it's a difficult question to gauge.
Will traders and investors start moving towards perceived safe havens such as gold which could bolster the Dollar?
On a more granular level, trading continues in a normal fashion responding to scheduled news rather than the more spectacular global news stories.
There's Chinese inflation numbers overnight with annualised growth of 0.9% which precedes big Canadian and US data tomorrow.
Canada is expected to release an unemployment rate of 6.6% at the same time as the much anticipated US non farm payrolls.
Analysts are predicting employment growth of 60,000 jobs.
The jobs data in the US has been under close scrutiny over recent months with the reported numbers often in contradiction to the Presidents rhetoric.
Economic calendar:
CHN: Friday 01:30 Inflation Report
CAN: Friday 13:30 Unemployment Rate
US: Friday 13:30 Non Farm Payrolls

An early Christmas present from the Bank of England today.
The Bank of England has announced it is reducing the base rate to 3.75% (previously 4.00%).
So this is a good time for you to contact our Mortgage and Financial Services, if you are considering a mortgage to help fund a property purchase in France, you may wish to contact them to see if they can help and advise you, best of luck.
You can contact them direct here.
PS: We have a new Mortgage Partner who is very pro-active and helping many of our clients already, so worth another enquiry if you are looking to borrow
Kind regards,
Alex at Clé France.
A Big Week For The Pound.
and the Bank of England Decision on Thursday...
UK unemployment is now at 5.1% for the 3 months to October.
This is the highest since Covid and possibly reflects a cooler economic environment.
Tomorrow sees the inflation number released where annualised growth is expected to modestly tick down to 3.5%.
That should support the anticipated rate cut by the Bank of England on Thursday to 3.75%.
All in all it's a lively week of activity all around.
There are options for taking risk off the table if you want to discuss things with your dedicated account manager.
Those options include forward contracts and limit / stop orders.
If that weren't enough there's also US non farm payrolls for November being reported this afternoon.
40,000 jobs were expected to have been added, and this will be very closely watched as the number is relatively poor compared to a thriving economic backdrop.
Economic calendar:
- US: 13:30 Non Farm Payrolls
- UK: Wednesday 07:00 Inflation Report
- UK: Thursday 12:00 BoE Interest Rate Decision
