This is a question we are commonly asked by customers as they prepare, for their holidays abroad. Unfortunately the answer to the question is not that simple. There are many factors to be measured before taking a view on how the currency markets will perform.
We have all seen how the collapse of sub prime mortgages in 2008 affected the global market place and the effect it had on all currencies around the world. Statements made by Presidents, Prime Ministers, Governors to name but a few can have lasting influence on the rise and fall of a currency, as does trade figures, inflation results, etc.
Each week we will use this page to comment on how rates have performed and try to give insight into some of the influencing factors coming up in the week ahead.
