Converting Pounds to Kiwi Dollars
By Leigh Smith
This morning the Bank of England release their M4 Money Supply figures for September. This measures all the sterling in circulation, encompassing notes and coins as well as money held in bank accounts and is therefore a key indicator of inflation. It should also give us a good idea of how successful Quantitative Easing has been so far, with the scheme intended to increase the supply of money in the economy.
This data release may cause large levels of volatility in the currency markets, with an increase seen as positive for the UK and Pound and a decrease negative. Official figures are released at 9.30am.
