Forward Contracts Could Be An Option

The next 2 weeks are critical to currency markets and pose a high degree of potential risk.

Interest rate decisions are the primary focus for banks and traders.

Australia, the US, the UK and Europe are all making major decisions before the end of next week.

Rate cuts are highly anticipated for both the States and here in the UK.

Therefore, as it's expected, it's already "priced into" exchange rates. In other words traders have already traded with the belief that a rate cut will occur.

It's when things go against expectations that high volatility occurs.

Certainly, here in the UK, there's a mixed bag of news moving markets. Is there a "black hole" in public finances....or isn't there?

Does the Bank of England need to cut rates to stimulate growth? Or does it need to keep rates where they are to try and curb inflation?

We will find out over the coming 2 weeks.

Here at Regency FX we can help mitigate risk if you have an upcoming currency conversion with the use of limit orders and forward contracts.

For more information on either of those options please give your dedicated account manager a call.
