Sterling Strength off the back of higher than expected inflation figures

This morning saw the release of key inflation data for the U.K and surprisingly it came out higher than expected.

This has lead to Sterling gaining ground against most major currencies as when inflation is high it makes it harder to cut rates in the future, as this will only lead to inflation geting worse and as many regular readers will know an interest rate cut generally has a negative effect on the currency concerned and the markets move on rumour as well as fact.

If you are unsure about any upoming data and how in may effect the cost of your currency purchase please feel to contact me and I will happily assist, we also see the release of the Bank of England minutes tommorow morning which may well also have a large impact on the value of Sterling.
