Pound gains strongest level in seven years versus Euro

The only piece of news that really interested me was that America is looking to increase its sanctions against Russia..... This will surely have further downwards pressure on the Rouble and cause the government to carry on buying it to help stabilise the currency. With an increasing deficit brought about through trade sanctions and currency stabilisation the odds that we'll see a 1998 debt default are increasing.

Worth a read http:http://www.economist.com/node/21636720//

The Russian government is to spend at least 2.34 trillion roubles ($35bn, £23bn) to try to stave off an economic crisis, following a collapse in oil prices and the value of the rouble.

Have taken a Chunnel long just now as we broke above .75

Euro-dollar parity

Dollar licks its wounds

What's happened to Shortie?

He defected to over the road :(

Really! Why?

Not sure , it was after Goldfinger got banned .

Dollar recovers from two-month low

Watching the fall in Sterling and not far now from a tempting long play. GBP/JPY and intwresting pair right now.
By the way I never deserted to the other side, had a quick look at advfn but ultimately lost interest in posting on the BBs

GBP/JPY still off 52 week low @ 125.54. Considering a short play...

Mays exit speech tomorrow, the markets have priced in a hard brexit but I wouldn't be surprised if she extends current plans. You negotiate from a position of strength not weakness and for her to champion anything else would be political suicide longer term!

What is next for £?
Many predicted $1 is the target.

I'm bullish on the pound right now. It's weak due to uncertainty not economic factors or M4 monetary expansion.

Wow! Check this basket full out: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business/market_data/currency/11/12/intraday.stm

The only currency with gbp to watch right now is the yen I think.
