Nationwide released housing prices figures early this morning which showed that house prices had risen at the fastest pace for 2 years in the month of December, this will increase Sterling volatility in the market and therefore in order to make sure you avoid any pitfalls be sure to contact an experienced currency broker regardless of whether you are Selling Euros or buying Euros.

Sterling remains especially volatile against the Dollar with the currency experiencing a two month low against the currency yesterday, however Sterling recovered by the end of the afternoon making a gain of 180 pips in a matter of hours.

In all this year has been a typically eventful one across the board for all currencies, and as the curtains close on 2009 will you look back and regret buying at the time you did because you did not contact a currency broker?
