Currency News
I have added this page to try to help you keep pace with news in the currency market. All the best investment planning in the world can be undermined by a failure to grasp the importance of the movement in currency exchange rates. We have a currency converter here and a rolling currency update newsletter to bring you the latest news regarding the wildly fluctuating sterling-euro exchange rate. Remember, the safe bet is ‘If in doubt, book it’. If you can afford that purchase now, but would really struggle if the rate were to go against you, cancel out the risk and book the rate now.
There is nothing wrong with taking a view on a currency as long as you realise you are doing it. Ignorance is not bliss. For what it’s worth, my personal view is that sterling is undervalued at any rate below 1.2500, but that doesn't mean that it’s not going to stay undervalued for longer than you can wait!
