RATE IMPROVED

Sterling has crept up from the doldrums it was in. The rate of sterling to euro is now €1.13.

The rate has crept away from the red alert status that the mushroom sector knows only to well.

88p will now buy a euro on the foreign exchange markets.

We can expect more ups and downs as we approach the deadline for a Brexit settlement.

The currency rate is only an indicator of how foreign exchange analysts - hedging their bets, think the prevailing mood is.
