Sterling climbed to a four-month high against the euro on Tuesday 18th of April, the day that PM May called a general election in the UK.
The snap general election initially caused a dip, then a spike on the currency markets, with the pound up 1 per cent against the euro.
The one thing that is for sure, as it seems mostly during the latest period of time, is that uncertainty and volatility rules.
Of course then on the back of the first round of the French presidential election votes, the euro was gaining ground. As of end of April the pound was down again to the 84 pence mark against the euro.
So not good news for the Irish Mushroom grower!
Many growers watch the currency charts on a daily basis lately, their heads must be done in by all the ups and the downs of late!
