it was a relatively positive week for Sterling exchange rates with the GBPEUR price comfortably above 1.20 and GBPUSD above 1.30- that was until Friday- when we saw a much weaker than expected retail sales report released for the UK, coupled with consumer confidence...

Firstly, I hope you are all refreshed after the bank holiday- before we got our long weekend, we saw a very strong push on the GBPEUR exchange rate above 1.21 and GBPUSD above 1.31. What was most fascinating is this happened with no real economic data or news to fuel...

We are now 2 months into 2022, and it seems this year is going to be just as eventful as the last couple! We had plenty of announcements and data releases last week which managed to push Sterling exchange rates higher, with GBPEUR closing above 1.19 on the week and...

The stars were aligned last week for a great pump on GBP exchange rates- with the BoE expected to raise rates by 25bps, we were all ready for the 1.20 handle to be pierced following the announcement- and in all fairness, this is exactly what happened. Following the...
