Hi All

POUNDS TO EUROS 1.2237
POUNDS TO AUSTRALIAN DOLLARS 1.7346

POUND HEADLINES:

  • Sterling hits 8 week high against the Euro pushing above 1.2200
  • GDP data from UK and USA this Friday will show if the economy is growing
    along with forecasts which will almost certainly have an impact on exchange
    rates going into the weekend
  • British pound traders fixated on growth, interest rates, deficits and
    1.55 on GBPUSD

EURO HEADLINES:

  • Euro Fundamental strength could be undermined should data show growth to
    temper
  • The pressure on the single currency also saw the Euro falter against
    sterling, as EURGBP fell below the 0.8150 level for the first time since the
    end of June
  • Gross domestic Product from Germany is released tomorrow

US DOLLAR HEADLINES:

  • Dollar forges a 4 week high to end the week but follow through up to
    risk trends next week
  • Greenback still supported by risk aversion mood in global markets
  • Concerns about a double dip recession in the US continue to dominate
    market sentiment, and last weeks poor US economic data didn't help change
    this view
