Foreign Exchange: Euro Rallies As Sterling Falls Through Support

The Euro has continued its rebound, rallying in anticipation of positive reports from the recent European bank ‘stress tests’. But Sterling has broken below the 1.1900 support level.

The Euro continued to rebound from 18 month lows as European inter-bank lending rates rise after the ECB absorbed €59bn of government bonds.

In addition, the Euro has been rallying in anticipation that the recent European bank ‘stress tests’ will prove to be positive and reassuring to investors. The results are due Friday.

Given the uncertain outcome, TorFX are advising clients with Euro requirements to consider hedging at least part of their exposure before the announcement.

Sterling has broken below the June low at 1.1900, suggesting to many a further decline toward the next key level at 1.1400. With this negative development the question is will the upward trend that has dominated continue through the second quarter of the year?

Torfx are advising clients to be extra cautious in case this slide develops into a full blown sell off.
