The last week in the currency markets

The dollar and Australian dollar traded in a fairly tight range over the last week due to a lack of any real significant economic data.

GBP/ dollar traded in the range of 2.13670-2.16950 over the last week averaging 2.15753.

GBP/AUD traded in the range of 1.64310-1.66010 with an average of 1.65383 over the same period.

The focus in the short term will be on the AUD/ cross rate and offshore developments.

The BoE has just announced, this morning, their decision to keep its Rate unchanged at 0.5%, as widely expected, as well as to maintain its bond buying program at GBP200 Bln.  This has given a small boost to both GBP vs both AUD and as I write this.

For those wishing to send money back to NZ/AUS we would recommend doing it now as further uncertainty lurkes around the corner as the UK election looms closer.
