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...

Well, that was one very LONG week! But after a few sleepless nights of watching CNN, we finally have a result on the Elections and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be the next President and Vice President of the U.S. It was a big win, but a much tighter win than what...

So… It seems the UK has U-Turned on their initial position 2 weeks ago about another Lockdown. As I mentioned 2 weeks ago, it takes the Government around 2 weeks to change their mind, and here we are, another National lockdown is upon us from Thursday- which...

After a much needed week off- I am now back on my desk feeling very refreshed and ready for what the market has in store for us for the rest of 2020. Looking at rates over the last week, it seems the Pound to Euro exchange rate came down a little on Friday bringing us...

Another volatile week has passed, with plenty of updates on Brexit and new restrictions around the UK. To begin with, all eyes were on the EU Summit this week (Personally I am not sure why, we all knew there was not going to be any breakthroughs this week)- and that...

The last week definitely flew by quicker than usual… the risks we had last week are in some ways different to what is ahead of us now- President Trump is now out of hospital and back in the White House, recovered from Covid-19 and promising free treatment for...

It was nice to see Pound to Euro and Pound to Dollar exchange rates rise a little over the last week on the back of Brexit talks going a little better than expected. We closed on Friday with GBPEUR above 1.10 and GBPUSD above 1.29 which was a welcome 2% gain on both...

And just like that, another month is about to end and we are officially about to enter October- for a year where we couldn’t do much, time definitely seems to have flown faster than usual! Last week was relatively volatile, in the midst of another announcement...

A scary headline I know… But that is exactly where we are right now. Brexit has been our main headline so far in September, which, for a lack of a better word, absolutely decimated any gains that we saw through the Summer for Sterling. We are now waiting for any...
