Pound Dominates Southern Hemisphere

It's a real game of 2 halves for Sterling right now.

Against most Southern hemisphere currencies (AUD, NZD, JPY, CNH) the Pound is dominant.

This is cited as being caused by the Chinese interest rate cut yesterday.

The cut suggests China is having to take steps to bolster its economy, which has a knock on effect, especially to Australia who supplies China with many raw materials.

Business news remains relatively thin today with speculation over humanoid robots becoming commonplace and the ongoing disruption caused by Crowdstrike.
