Sterling Forecast
The pound has had a tough time of late gaining any momentum even on the release of positive data. Today has created an opportunity for Sterling sellers. Three factors combined caused the Spike. First came UK Services PMI, which is an indicator as to the health of the services sector which makes up a significant amount of the UK’s GDP. It came in positive and above expectations which set the pound on it’s rally. Then there was the ruling by the high court that there must be a government vote before Article 50 is invoked, this could mean the possibility of a soft Brexit which put more momentum behind the pound.
Finally came the news of a hold on interest rates which to be honest was no surprise, but the markets reacted and the pound rallied. GBP/EUR hitting 1.1287 at the day high. With many analysts predicting 1.05 in December it was some much needed positive news for Sterling. If you are trading Sterling to Euro it may be wise to take advantage of current levels.
