After shooting up against the euro at lunchtime on Friday, the pound maintains those gains into this week. Sterling also starts the week stronger than the dollar compared to this time last Monday.
Later this week markets will see whether sterling maintains its gains as the Bank of England will decide on its latest interest rate this Thursday. It is forecast to raise to 3% and if it does, this will be the 8th consecutive rate hike, pushing borrowing costs to the highest in 14 years.
