16 August, 2019

Sam Roberts

So this week we have seen the UK economy ‘shrink’ for a second-quarter in succession. Technically if the UK economy performs the same way for another quarter, we will formerly be in a recession for the first time since the 2008/2009 financial crisis. Boris Johnson (or rather the people behind Boris Johnson) have placed the […]

14 August, 2019

Rob Bastin

Yesterday’s trading was a very flat day for the pound, having just experienced 14 weeks of declining exchange rates to take GBP/EUR rates to a 10 year low, and GBP/USD to a 34 year low. We have seen small signs in the markets that Sterling may now be ready to settle, and potentially see small […]

Matthew Boyle

Last week was yet again another bad one for the Pound as on Friday we saw the UK quarterly GDP figure come in at -0.2%. Another negative quarterly figure and we are officially in recession – not good news for the Pound or the UK. This combined with the ongoing Brexit uncertainty saw GBP drop […]

7 August, 2019

Pound sterling remains under pressure across the board with the European union now operating with the idea of a no-deal, after excepting Boris’s plans are not a bluff about a no-deal Brexit on the 31 of October. With a no-deal Brexit on the horizon, it appears to be the UK government’s “central /Only scenario” on […]

It has been only 10 days since Boris Johnson was handed the keys for number 10 Downing street and already the talk is circulating around a possible no-deal Brexit which has had already had a negative affect on the Pound. With comments from Michael Gove last week and other members of Boris’s cabinet throughout the […]

Warning: Sterling negative report ahead! The government now assumes a no-deal Brexit

2 August, 2019

Grace Rae

This past week has seen the Pound make big movements causing havoc for those looking to sell their Sterling but provided great opportunities for those looking to put Sterling back into their UK accounts. It all started way back when Theresa May stepped down from her position as Prime Minister and the leadership contest began. […]

An Inconvenient Truth

29 July, 2019

Sam Roberts

This week sees a busy week of market reports and data releases. With all the political posturing that has taken place recently and everyone holding their breaths to see if Prime Minister Johnston (still sounds weird when I say that) can really pull off the great escape from Europe, while keeping everyone satisfied across Great […]

ECB takes centre stage

26 July, 2019

Rob Bastin

The last few days have seen some much-desired movement in GBP/EUR exchange rates, with rates having recovered 2 cents peak to peak by lunchtime yesterday. You could be forgiven for thinking that the market has been buoyed by the announcement of Boris Johnson as prime minister, and his infectious/blind optimism towards resolving Brexit, however, it […]
