Bank Predictions

Summary

Expect interest rate speculation and politics to be the main drivers of exchange rates over 2024, with some central banks expected to begin reducing levels in the first half of the year. Geo-political risk will also dictate near-term volatility during crunch elections in the US, and a potential General Election in the UK.

Trading ranges are anticipated to remain wide, and businesses can take advantage of any momentary spikes using firm orders that automatically book exchanges if target levels are reached. They provide a great way of navigating volatile markets and work well when combined with a wider currency purchasing strategy.
