Is the euro weakening further? Stop the slide if you have to sell Euros by buying a forward contract with just a 10% deposit.

Yesterday was a fairly quiet day for currency rates, with the Euro consolidating a little after its rapid descent. Don’t expect this to be the end of the euro slde though. The markets show large numbers of speculators don’t have much faith in the Euro at present.

Euro: The new belt-tightening approach in the Eurozone will do nothing for confidence in the euro as the policy will ensure that economic growth is likely to remain extremely restricted for quite some time. This will ensure that the interest rates will remain low and will ensure that the ECB will have to tighten spending further.

GBP:Eur. The pound continues to maintain station comfortably above 1.15 euros and is expected to gain a little. This is more due to the weakness of the euro though. As the UK chancellor’s first budget draws nearer, it will be fascinating to see how jittery the market will become. If you’re holding out to change GBP into EUROs, don’t hold off too long. contact us here, and let us know what rate you need. We’ll let you know if it gets there.

GBP:USD. The Pound hasn’t performed so well against the dollar and continues to slide. As commented yesterday, currency buyers just want to buy Dollars.

AED: As the aed is pegged to the USD, this could be a great time to sell aed and buy euros, pounds or Australian dollars. The AUD is very weak against the AED and US Dollar at the moment.
