Down Down Down for the Pound???? Sterling Euro Dollar outlook

Again not great news for my regular readers that have upcoming transfers out of Sterling, shocking unemployment data has been released this morning alongside Bank of England minutes detailing that all 9 members of the monetary policy commitee had voted in favour of a 1% interesst rate cut last time round.

Sterling has lost a lot of ground against nearly every single currency including 1.66% against the Euro as I am writing this. This could be a difference of nearly £2500 on a £150,000 purchase!!!

We also saw the Federal reserve slash interest rates again over in the U.S down to between 0% and 0.25%. This decision bought some instant Dollar weakness but as what seems to be the case on a regular basis this small spike has not lasted. At the time of writing this report Sterling has lost 1.53% against the Dollar... Not good news!!

If you have an upcoming transfer and are unsure of what is set top come in these extremely volatile markets then feel free to contact me and I will be more than happy to assist.
