Sterling Euro Parity fast becoming a possibility???

The past week has seen further losses for the pound against a basket of major currencies, with the biggest victim being Sterling/Euro as has been widely publicised in the national media.

There are four things that may affect the strengh of a currency, they are as follows:

1 Acts of god

2 Acts of Terror

3 Economic Stability

4 Political certainty

As many of you will know there is not much that can be done or predicted about points 1 & 2 but just looking at the economic situation in the U.K with house prices dropping, huge companies going under and unemployment levels going through the roof it doesn't take a genius to see that although levels are bad now, there could be one hell of a long way to go yet!

Couple this with the fact that we will have an election at some point in the near future and points 3 & 4 really do spell out bad news for the future of Sterling!!!

There is a way to lock in a rate for anything up to two years in advance if you do have an upcoming requirement by means of a forward contract, for a small deposit you can secure your funds for anything up to two years in advance.
