Sterling down in Budget aftermath

28 July, 2011

CurrencyIndex

The Pound is struggling in early Monday trading, further to a raft of negative data released last week including the Budget on Wednesday, along with GDP, unemployment and inflation figures which all worsened in a terrible week for the UK’s economic prospects.

Sterling may struggle to recover for some time – so anybody looking to send money overseas in the coming months may do well to consider fixing an exchange rate for future delivery. Speak to your currency broker if you would like to discuss your options.
