This may be a shorter week thanks to Easter Monday getting things started, but it was all about drama from then on. Would that be good or bad news for the pound?

This week included Good Friday, which meant the British pound would only be trading for four days on the currency markets. Would that stem its losses, or was there another pattern in store?

Some weeks give an overall picture on the currency markets – with just one or two standout results to mention. This week would be one of those, as you will soon find out.

With Article 50 finally triggered, signalling the withdrawal of the UK from the EU, it’s time to see how the British pound would react to this news. This was set to be an interesting week.

It is always nice to write a good headline like that, where the pound has had a good week overall. Let’s see just how good it was last week.

Drama indeed, but would it be good or bad for the currency this week? We have all the answers for you here.

While we often see a similar pattern against several currencies, it’s also possible to see something entirely different happening elsewhere. This would become apparent this week as we explore the currency markets.

Things did not look good for the pound this week, as it struggled to achieve any good results. Even when it had one good day, it could not back it up by achieving anything further.

We could not have predicted the encouraging signs from the British pound that we saw this week. As you’ll see, it performed well in many instances and locations.

This was not to be a week where the British pound did well and achieved notable rises on the currency markets, as our results will show.
