The Week Ahead: 26th – 30th September 2022

Overview for the Week Ahead

The pound falls to all-time low against US dollar amid fears over UK tax cut plans

The pound has plunged to an all-time low against the US dollar amid hammered market confidence in the Government’s economic plans after the Chancellor last week unveiled the biggest tax cuts in 50 years and signalled more were on the way.

The euro also hit a fresh 20-year low amid recession and energy security fears ahead of what is expected to be a painful winter across Europe as the war in Ukraine shows no sign of ending.

Experts warned the pound’s plunge towards parity with the dollar will send the cost of goods soaring even higher, potentially worsening the cost-of-living crisis, while it also means it will be more expensive for the Government to borrow money.

there are fears the Bank of England may even be forced to step in with an emergency interest rate hike to rein in soaring inflation fuelled by the tax cuts.

A move by the U.S. central bank to lift interest rates by 75 basis points for the third straight time on Wednesday while signalling more sizable hikes were likely renewed worries among investors that a hard landing is imminent – particularly as monetary policymakers around the globe followed suit in recent days.
