Sterling starts 09 on a downward trend as house price data released is worse than expected

Happy new year to all regular readers, I hope the hangovers are all cleared up by now!!

Sterling has started 2009 just as it finished 2008, losing ground against most major currencies, at the time of writing this update Sterling had lost 1.27% against the Dollar and 0.85% against the Euro.

With an interest rate decision looming next Thursday and it being quite widely known that the Bank of England will be looking to cut rates which generally has a negative effect on the strength of a currency and the markets move on rumour as well as fact, so although the rates are not exactly great at the moment there is every chance that they could be a lot worse this time next week.
