Up and down week for Sterling!

This week has seen Sterling gain value overall following an extremely positive Wednesday's trading due to the Bank of England minutes coming coming out better than expected. One of the members of the MPC had voted in favour of a rate hike during the last decision, which prompted investors to gamble on a possible hike next time around.

This spike however was short lived as on Thursday retail sales figures were released and actually came out at a record low, the sharpest fall since 1986 when records began.

However Sterling has moved in the right direction against the Euro overall this week, but who knows what next week may bring so if you do have an upcoming transfer be sure to get in touch today.
