So far so good this week for the Pound! After the last two weeks of weakness we have finally seen some strength for the Pound against both the U.S Dollar and the Euro. We have seen exchange rates move up around 2% since last week which is a sizeable difference! The reason for the strength firstly came from recent opinion polls for the EU Referendum showing that the "In" camp were ahead, and as we know, staying in = stability which keeps the markets happy! Bank Of England Governor Mark Carney also spoke on Tuesday and pointed out that if the UK remains in Europe then the UK should see an interest rate hike in early 2017, which again was fantastic news for the markets. All eyes are now on the ECB (European Central Bank) on Thursday afternoon; Last time the ECB had an interest rate decision we saw the GBPEUR exchange rate move by around 3% within a couple of minutes- and we are expecting another volatile meeting! Though we are not expecting the ECB to change their interest rates or increase any monetary policy, we are expecting Mario Draghi to move the markets during his press conference at 13:30. "Brexit" seems to be a world concern at the moment and as this would affect Europe just as much as the UK, we are expecting Draghi to comment on his thoughts and possible outcomes he believe would happen if this were to happen. Moving forward I should point out that the Pound is going to be very volatile leading up to this referendum, and though we will have times of strength (as we are now) we will also have times of weakness. When the markets are in this state it is best to have your costs in place and to make sure you are protecting yourself against any volatility on the market.
