Best Exchange Rates

By

Today’s currency news has seen Sterling exchange rates remain at low levels following the news that some of the countries within the Eurozone may be bailing out Greece. Although this has been seen as a general negative for the Eurozone Sterling rates seem to be faltering due to a lack of confidence in the currency.

Some analysts have been predicting that the GBP/USD exchange rates could hit as low as 1.51 for those looking to purchase Dollars this makes any transaction ever more expensive. In summary the currency market is especially volatile at the moment and therefore a wise move may be to contact an experienced currency broker in order to ensure you are well informed before committing to anything.

Sterling Falls After Inflation Report

By

News from the Bank of England today that UK inflation is likely to rise to over 3% in the coming weeks. Should this happen then Mervyn King the governor of the bank of England will have to write to the Chancellor to explain why inflation is rising so rapidly and what the central bank plan to do to control it.

Rising inflation is usually controlled by rising interest rates but with the economy on the verge of falling back into recession so the Bank of England cannot really increase interest rates making their job very difficult. This also means the pressure is piling up on the Pound and exchange rates are sufferring this morning with Sterling falling against most the major currencies. Sterling Dollar exchange rates have fallen by a cent while Sterling Euro exchange rates are down by half a cent.

In currency market news Sterling has continued to take quite a hit this morning following a drop in exchange rates yesterday; this can be attributed to the news over the weekend that the Conservative’s lead over Labour has fallen below ten percent and therefore increases the risk of a hung parliament. Alongside this the British Retail Consortium released retail sales figures for January which showed that retail sales have fallen to -0.7% from +4%; these figures are the worst for 15 years.

In order to achieve the best currency rates you may want to contact an experienced currency broker who can help to guide you through the process and ensure that you maximise your savings whilst also minimising your risk especially in times such as these when the market remains expecially volatile.
