In the last few weeks the Sterling has waivered between 1.945 and 1.965, but analysts predict an increase in coming days. Days ago the estate agency conglomerate, Rightmove, announced that asking prices for UK property were up by 1.5% in May immediately lifting Sterling rates for about 10 minutes – the populace soon realized however that actual transactions were running at only 50% of numbers from a year ago which in turn brought rates back down. A potential slowdown in the UK economy follows on the heels of the US economy "recession". Many wonder whether the US is truly in recession or if the credit crisis is almost over.
Many commentators believe that the dollar will become stronger in the next 12 to 18 months due to a lag in world economy behind the US. For this reason, the next time the Sterling approaches 2.0 may be one of the last opportunities for awhile. Rates are expected to return back down to around 1.85 by Christmas time.
