Sterling Exchange Rate 16th October 2019
£1 = 1.16 Euro
£1 = $1.29
Looks like skiing is going to be cheaper than the 2015/16 season.

@Mr.Egg, that might depend on the result. Another minority government could knock it back a couple of points, or crash it if Corbyn wins.
still have decision of how long to wait before buying euros for best deal

That is more than likely something to do with the royal mint launching an easy way investors to buy into gold tracker fund.
Lots of people looking for investment since interest rates are a load of poo-poo.

@Klamm Franzer, I suspected the £ would strengthen against the € so I'm glad I haven't bought my latest wad of € yet.
I need to see how it is doing against the CAD as I'm off to Canada in a couple of weeks.

£ to CAD is looking good. It was the highest on Jan 31st but is not far off now. Happy (skiing) days.

The UK's only hope of Sterling staying where it is now oe a bit stronger is if Boris Jonhson asks for a Transistiin Xtn in July....
Failing that Sterling will dive as its been made very clear there is no chance of concluding a new EU Trade Deal by Dec 31st 2020..
That will only mean a Very Hard Brexit (No Deal)

Imagine that a French minister engaging in some anti Brit rhetoric on the day Macron's pension reforms ate heading through the next stage.
He really out to chat with some business owners in the Tarentaise to get a view on what the real French think, as opposed to the Parisian metropolitan elite.

Am I the only one baffled by the supposed target audience of the cloggy troll?
I'm guessing from my own reaction, which as a committed europhile is to seriously consider that maybe brexiting from such tripe & bile wasn't such a bad idea after all, he is trying to bring snowheads together. After all, with a common enemy, then irrespective of your starting point we can all agree on that point.
Bless you Stanton for making such a sterling effort on our behalf.

@Arctic Roll, the cloggie troll is clearly a complete idiot and best ignored. The worst thing you can do is react to him - he seems to like that.

Sterling Post Brexit Honeymoon seems to be over
Their failure to formalise a position could delay trade negotiations starting, pressurising an already very tight timeline and increasing the risk of the UK leaving the EU on World Trade Organisation rules. This would be a significant step down from where the UK’s current arrangement and is therefore dragging on the pound.

@stanton,
I am more interested in £ v $ Canadian. The EU obviously don't want our custom so I will go some where different.

Ooòoh the pound dropped by 0.13% today, the Dutch stock market fell by 1.13%. Yet again the sage of St Anton proves he is a clown!

Stantroll, you said the £ would reach parity with the Euro, when exactly is that going to happen? Are you now just counting in Leap years?

The stock market has gone down a bit due to investors bring cautious over the uncertainty of the Coronavirus outbreak and the £ often goes down a bit too in times of uncertainty, so that is probably why.

@stanton, Yikes ……………. that's why the Euro is 5% down on Sterling. Looks like the FM's reckon Euroland is going to take a bigger CV-19 hit that the UK.
Just you wait until May/June/July to see just how much the EU citizens are impacted by the pandemic. £50 says the exchange rate is nearer 1.20 EU to the Pound!

Stanton is making lots of sense in here. £ -€ will be at parity at some point in early 2021 unless some kind of (good) trade deal is accomplished. Saddened to see certain posts which demonstrate disgusting utter English arrogance.

@Raptor23, @stanton, talks rubbish , he claims to be a currency expert he isn’t and has never been correct on any of his predictions. He pops his head up everytime there is any sterling weakness . If in the event it gets there the £ vs the € will bounce off 1.09/1.10 as it has countless times in the last three years . More likely it will trade between 1.10 and 1.20 until the trade talks reach conclusion . Even in event of no deal I’d expect weakness followed by a bounce as markets always like certainty rather uncertainty and the £ actually is quite cheap . I am English I could be considered arrogant but I do know my markets .

Agree to disagree, I’m buying euros at anything over 1.18 over the next 9 months. It’s only going one way post Jan 1st 2021 and risk will be priced in well before that. The “English” comment was directed at the ‘we need them more than they need us’ clown who suggested Canada would be where they would go moving forward.

@Raptor23, don't you mean 'they need us more than we need them?' reference the Canadian comment?

[RATES CORRECTED 3.3.20] UBS latest analysis for investors - including factoring-in coronavirus - is the GBP:CHF (currently £1=CHF1.21) could go down to £1=CHF1.15 during negotiations, but that by the end of 2020 should hit £1=CHF1.29 and long-term would go to CHF1.35 They think that the £ is undervalued because of Brexit uncertainty and that detachment from the EU could have an upside because like the CHF it makes it a more liquid currency. Basically, the volatility range is £1= CHF 1.15 to 1.39 over the next 3 years.
I am not a currency trader and I have no idea whether this analysis has merit. But I have found that the UBS projection record has been quite good over the last five years. So if they are right, then for Brits looking to holiday in Switzerland, you might think that the issue won't be the exchange rate, but more whether home economic conditions encourage/discourage spending on an Alpine holiday.
Personally, I think that the coronavirus effects on the economy combined with higher cost of staple product imports as a result of Brexit, reduced tax income from EU migrant, and the need to bribe Red Wall constituencies with a range of public sector projects, will all combine to drive up the cost of living in the UK. And even for the middle-classes in good jobs, reduce the amount of money available to spend on Alpine holidays. So to answer the thread's title question - No. Next season won't be more expensive. But Brits will have less money to spend on a ski holiday and so fewer will go.
