Comments: A bit of weakness from sterling against all currencies this morning including the US$. Unsure if this is a short term respite for the US$. Still a lot of negative comments and unlikley to rebound short term.

Note: All rates are mid market inter bank and indicative at the point of publication.

Comments: A quieter day for the US$ with the rate staying at 1.97/8 inter bank. No real news out of the US yesterday. We await to see what the outcome of the ECB meeting is and whether or not they raise interest rates by 0.25%. A couple of weeks ago this was a forgone conclusion but now with the rapid depreciation of the US$ other factors such as export competitiveness may take centre stage.

Comments: Still no respite for the US$. The US$ has now passed through 14 years highs against sterling and is pushing towards 2. However, sentiment may begin to change as there is a realisation that our exports are becoming less competitive. We are still hovering around 1.48 against the Euro. Until we see the US$ settle down, this will be a side show.
