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.

So what next, what should you do?

Why 2024 is set for currency volatility.

Markets are forward-looking beasts.

By saying that, I mean they not only react to current news but also try to anticipate news before it occurs.

Which is why I wanted to touch on what’s happening right now.

Futures markets are pricing in a bunch of interest rate cuts in 2024.

Good news for borrowers, but a mixed bag for currencies.

At the moment, markets are expecting the EU to slash rates by around 1.5% next year, the US to cut by 1.25% and the UK by 0.75%.

As currencies weaken with lower rates, any difference in the size of the cuts would trigger a good dose of currency volatility.

If all remains unchanged (a big if), the Pound should benefit relative to the Euro and Dollar.

A lot could & will happen between now and then, but that is the current consensus thinking across the medium term.

In the short-term we have had a bit of profit taking in Pound Sterling after its stellar run recently.

Both GBP/EUR and GBP/USD have drifted down over the past week.

There’s just over 2 weeks to go in 2023...

So what next, what should you do?
