Last week Sterling began to trade higher against the Euro & Dollar- hitting 1.1280 against the Euro and crossing 1.25 against the U.S Dollar. The Euro weakened significantly last week following the ECB’s decision to cut deposit rates and re-start QE; which...

Sterling exchange rates have been very volatile over the last week due to developments in UK Parliament. We have seen major strength in the Pound since Boris Johnson was defeated in Parliament after a law has been passed that a No Deal Brexit can’t happen...

In last week’s article, I mentioned there was potential for an uptrend in GBPEUR exchange rates- and fortunately, we have seen the third week of consecutive gains for GBPEUR. There was short term volatility during the week following Boris Johnson asking the...

Over the past week, we have seen GBPEUR & GBPUSD begin to rise following positive comments after Boris Johnson’s meetings with Macron & Merkel- in an interview on Sunday he stated that a better deal is now “More likely” than it was before,...

After a couple of months of non-stop weakness- we finally had a week of green for the Pound! We ended last week with GBPEUR sitting just above 1.06 following very poor GDP figures and investors selling off the Pound due to Brexit news. By Friday 16th August GBPEUR had...

Unfortunately, it has been yet another bad week for the Pound- with GBPEUR going into the 1.06 area and GBPUSD hitting 1.20. This was largely due to the UK economy shrinking for the first time since 2012- data showed that the UK economy shrunk in Q2 of 2019. The...

The UK officially now has a new PM, and once Boris Johnson took the reigns, we initially saw Sterling gain around 1% across the board- these gains were short-lived as Boris followed up with setting up a “War Cabinet” to prepare for a no-deal Brexit. We...

As last week concluded, we began to see Sterling strengthen against the Euro and the Dollar by around 1% which was positive for Sterling sellers. The reason for this is that Sterling had begun to bottom out and became oversold, and traders generally see this as a good...

The last week was fairly quiet for Sterling exchange rates, with both GBPEUR and GBPUSD moving within a 1% range for the whole week. The main focus was on Fed Chair Powell pretty much confirming an interest rate cut in the U.S at the end of this month, which will...

Sterling has struggled to find real support against the Euro and Dollar over the last couple of months- it seems that even though the Fed is set to cut interest rates and the EU economy is slowing down- it is still not enough for Sterling to make any real gains...
