This week’s currency news 566

As we move towards the end of the month, there is less scheduled important data this week. However we have the Bank of England minutes on Wednesday, which will reveal how close we were to having extended QE in November, which can have a major influence on exchange rates, as well as the revision to UK GDP on Thursday. Of course the Eurozone story continues to dominate financial markets and currencies alike. Check back later in the week or call us on 0800 043 2623 to find out how the latest developments are affecting rates for sending money abroad or repatriating to the UK.
