The British Pound had an interest week, to say the least, as it fell against the Japanese Yen and the U.S. Dollar while it gained against the rest of the majors. The 1.68 percent loss against the Greenback was relatively modest compared to the Swiss Franc’s drop; coupled with the U.K. 10-year Gilt (equivalent to the U.S. 10-year Treasury Note) hitting a record low yield, it appears that the Sterling is becoming an alternative safe haven, a notion inferred since the Swiss National Bank implemented a floor on the EUR/CHF on September 6. As such, a new pattern is unfolding for the British Pound: it won’t likely be the strongest performer any given week, but it is equally unlikely for it to be the weakest performer.
This outlook is predicated on two bases: first, there are likely to be increased capital flows from the Euro into the Sterling (leading to Sterling strength); and second, the Bank of England has indicated it will ramp up its quantitative easing program as the British economy continues to falter (leading to Sterling weakness). In the week ahead, this tug of war will be underscored.
Although the Sterling finished the week unchanged against the Euro, as Euro-zone tensions flare, additional strength appears on the horizon for the world’s oldest fiat currency. Liquidity is starting to thin out very quickly; in fact, interbank borrowing costs in the United Kingdom are at their highest cost since the 2008-2009 market crash. This is an exceptional cause for concern.
As such, given these developments, the most important event of the week would be the Bank of England minutes. On November 10, the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee decided to keep its monetary policy on hold, with the key interest rate at 0.50 percent and the asset purchase program unchanged at £275 billion. Still, the notes of the meeting provide an in-depth look at the musings of the central bank’s policymakers, and given recent dovish commentary, it appears the Sterling will face some headwinds leading up to and following the release.
Even though the Sterling’s bias is to the downside as global financial conditions becoming increasingly strained towards the end of the year, the Sterling still stands to gain ground against the higher yielding currencies, such as the Australian Dollar and the New Zealand Dollar. In fact, the minutes – expected to signal the continuation of loose monetary policy – could weigh on investor sentiment. Accordingly, the Bank of England minutes could arguably be the most important event on the week, especially considering the illiquid market conditions expected with U.S. markets closed on Thursday.
