Massive Week Of Changes

April sees a sharp uptick in household bills in the UK.

Council tax, water rates, energy bills, car tax, broadband and tv licence fees, and changes to stamp duty rules are set to hit.

Throw in the changes to National Insurance, thought to hit small businesses hardest, and it's potentially a tough run ahead.

And all of the above doesn't factor in the US Presidents self hailed "liberation day" on 2nd April when global tariffs are expected to be rolled out.

Certainly a lot on the table to push the markets.

The Pound has entered into a sideways pattern against most majors unless we head to the Southern Hemisphere.

GBP/AUD and GBP/NZD sees Sterling in ascension and pushing 9 year highs.

Scheduled news is dominated by inflation reports.

Germany is first out the traps later today with the overall Eurozone report out tomorrow morning.

Analysts are expecting annualised growth of 2.3% in line with the previous month.

In between those numbers there's the Reserve Bank of Australias interest rate decision with no change at 4.1% expected.
