Last week we saw some strength in Sterling exchange rates with GBPEUR hitting 1.13 and GBPUSD hitting 1.3750 before pulling back at the end of the week. It seems that the “Vaccine trade” is in full force and with the UK’s so far fantastic rollout of...

Sterling exchange rates ended lower against the Euro and Dollar on Friday after a few days of strength against most G10 currencies. The reason for the initial strength last week was the Bank Of England indicating that the chances of negative interest rates were now...

As we closed on Friday we surprisingly saw Sterling give up gains against both the Euro and the Dollar; hitting 1.1125 against the Euro and 1.3305 against the Dollar. The main reason for this was lack of progress on the Brexit deal- and though talks are still...

As a whole, I would say that last week was pretty flat for Sterling; we didn’t see much movement in either direction which was pretty typical for the third week of the month- this week however, does have the potential to be different. So what do we have ahead of...

It was an interesting week for Pound-Euro exchange rates with rates reaching as high as 1.1275 on Wednesday before dipping to 1.1150 by Friday- and also GBPUSD reaching 1.33 before falling back to the 1.31 area by Friday close. The next Brexit deadline is supposed to...
