Interest Rates Ahoy.

Huge week for interest rate decisions.

The ECB held their rate at 2.25% last week.

Overnight Japan raised it's rate to 1%. This follows over 20 years of deflation and a negative -0.1% base rate following a crash in most asset classes such as shares and property.

Tomorrow sees the FED release it's decision which looks to be a nailed on hold at 3.75%.

The UK inflation number at breakfast tomorrow could sway the Bank of Englands decision on Thursday, but it's unlikely there will be a change from their 3.75%.

All eyes are now on the peace talks with Iran. Current rhetoric indicate it's a done deal....time will tell over the next 72 hours.

Certainly the markets believe it's over with the price of oil normalising and stability returning to most asset markets.

This is important because inflation was expected to climb sharply if the Iran conflict continued and therefore interest rates were supposed to tick up.

Now the decline in interest rates seen pre conflict may come back to the table, and the global economy might continue to return to more stable conditions.

Watch this space.

Here at Regency FX we've helped our clients through the past couple of months with fixed rate forward contracts and market watching for those with no immediate requirement.

Your dedicated account manager is always on hand to provide assistance.

Pound Falters After Recovery.

What goes up, often comes back down.

Sterling started the week at year highs versus the Euro, but has subsequently slipped back.

The UK political backdrop may have had some weight on this, but all eyes are really on 18th June for the outcome of the Makerfield by-election as Andy Burnham would be a sitter to replace Sir Kier Starmer if he wins the seat.

More likely the settle back is a reflection of slightly poor economic data in the UK last week being realised.

Bigger news towards the end of last week was the new FED Chairman, Kevin Warsh, being sworn in on 22nd May.

Eyes will certainly be on his approach, which is expected to be more pro Trump, than his predecessor, Jerome Powell.

Mr Warsh self confesses to be a fan of a previous FED Chair, Alan Greenspan, who tended to take a more relaxed approach on subjects such as rate hikes as he felt knee jerk reactions to immediate news such as inflation, wasn't necessarily the best approach.

This afternoon sees what some believe to be the most accurate reflection of US inflation with their Personal Consumption Expenditures price index being reported. Analysts expect annualised growth of 3.3%.

Overall it's the position in Iran that has the potential for the biggest mover of markets as we get closer to the weekend with very little to indicate whether peace is achieved or the conflict continues.
