Pound Sterling Forecast

Good morning all,

This weekend could well be key for the strength of the Euro as top European members are meeting in Brussels to attempt to find a solution for Greek debt and the general problems within the Euro Zone (haven’t we heard this one before?) It has been commented on this morning that we may now have to wait until Wednesday before we see any real results from this meeting, it wouldn’t surprise me to see this delayed again next week however what this does mean is that investors may well be a little cagey surrounding the Euro in the coming week, so expect some market volatility and some great buying and selling opportunites.

If you have an upcoming requirement, it may be prudent to look at placing a limit order or indeed a stop loss, this is where you can set a target rate, or a worst case scenario and should this rate be achieved at any point day or night your currency will be bought out automatically. There is no cost for this tool and it comes in extremely handy for those with hectic lifestyle and busy schedules that do not have the time to look at rates 24 hours a day, believe me… it can take over your life!

This morning we saw fairly positive news for the Pound as Public Sector Net Borrowing figures were slightly lower than expected, meaning the Government isn’t going mad on spending at present however this hasn’t really had too much of an impact in the market so far.

The misery index (calculated by adding inflation and unemployment) is atthe highest point in the U.K in 19 years and the U.S for 28 years! This just goes to show worldwide there is a rocky road ahead and a lot of money to be made and lost in upcoming currency transfers so make sure you are one step ahead at all times and protect yourself from adverse market movements.
