It has been yet another eventful month- with Sterling managing to creep back up against most major currencies- ending the month at 1.42 against the U.S Dollar and above 1.16 against the Euro. The slightly higher monthly close is owed to low liquidity on the markets on...

Last week was a relatively bad week for Sterling exchange rates; we saw GBPEUR as low as 1.1460 and GBPUSD as low as 1.3740 before rising again on Friday ending the week higher. Interestingly enough much of the week was spent by analysts looking for reasons why this...
