POUNDS TO US DOLLARS 1.5415
POUNDS TO EUROS 1.2158
POUNDS TO AUSTRALIAN DOLLARS 1.7335

EUROS TO US DOLLARS 1.2677

POUND HEADLINES:
  • The bank holiday weekend has not resulted in any dramatic movements
    between Sterling and the Euro with the pair continuing to hover around the
    1.2160 - 1.2200 mark
  • There's growing confidence that the UK will recover at a faster pace
    than other European economies that are struggling to contain their budget
    deficits
  • It is quite a busy week for the economic calendar and we expect to see
    sterling on top as concerns about the weaker countries in the Eurozone
    linger

EURO HEADLINES:


  • The single currency lost ground to the Dollar yesterday, reversing gains
    enjoyed at the end of last week with the price now back below $1.27
  • Eurozone interest rate decision this Thursday followed by ECB Press
    conference which provides an in-depth insight into the economic conditions
    and future outlook of the Eurozone
  • Eurozone unemployment rate (July) comes in as forecast at 10.0%

US DOLLAR HEADLINES:


  • The Pound has turned lower against the USD yesterday and is maintaining
    its downward course this morning with the price nearing a 6 week low.
    Outlook for the week remains bearish ahead of the US non-farm payroll
    figures on Friday
  • Minutes of Fed's latest policy meeting will be in focus later this
    evening with the report likely to highlight the slowing economic recovery,
    the riskier pound is likely to struggle in the near term
  • Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said over the weekend that
    growth has been "too slow" and unemployment "too high", triggering further
    speculation that the Fed will extend easing measures at their policy meeting
    later this month

    recovery
  • A key gauge of conditions in the US will come on Friday where data is

    further evidence of the problems ahead

Pound Headlines
  • Sterling reversed its recent decline against the Euro yesterday, edging
    higher following the release of the minutes to the MPC's latest meeting. The
    minutes revealed a vote of eight to one in favour of keeping rates at 0.5%

  • Spotlight falls on UK Public Finance and Retail Sales Data this morning

  • The Pound came off its three week lows against the US Dollar yesterday
    but lacked momentum to sustain its gains

Euro Headlines

  • The euro originally rose against the Dollar yesterday following a run of
    successful bond auctions, but the positive sentiment proved short-lived.
  • The euro is now vulnerable to dipping below $1.28 as concerns build;
    namely about Greek austerity, Irish banking, and French credit ratings

  • Germany PPI m/m came in at 0.5%, slightly higher than expected

US Dollar Headlines

  • In the past few months the dollar's safe haven status has been
    undermined by the continuous stream of disappointing figures and the threat
    of a double-dip recession. This allowed the other leading haven currency,
    the Japanese yen, to soar

  • Bank of Japan is now considering taking steps to curb the yen's strength
    due to its negative impact on exports. This has put the dollar back in focus
    as a risk adverse currency and it is rallying this morning

  • Jobless Data from US today
