Global Market Confidence Still Strong Despite Covid

Last week presented a great opportunity for those in need to exchange pound into Euro. In fact the currency pair went above the 1.13 level and with it the best exchange rate since May 2020.

Despite the lockdown, the number of infections and the recent threat of various mutations, there is still hope that the vaccination campaign would be successful and bring this pandemic to an end.

And this is the feeling feeding the global investor sentiment too and supporting currencies like the Sterling this week.

These rate movements can trigger an important savings for those in need to exchange their pounds to pay for their property in France.

Market order- You could target a rate of exchange and if the rate moves to that level we could buy the funds for you automatically.
