# Pound To Australian Dollar Week-Ahead Forecast: Nine Month High!

> The pound-to-Australian-dollar exchange rate reached a nine-month high last week, rising about 2.3% from the start of the week to around A$1.9483. Sterling was supported by the Bank of England's 25-basis-point rate increase and a more hawkish outlook, as well as an in-principle UK-EU agreement to reduce red tape on food and agricultural exports; the article also cites pressure on the Australian dollar.

## Why it matters

A weaker Australian dollar can improve the price competitiveness of Australian agricultural exports, while movements in sterling can affect the cost of UK imports. The reported UK-EU arrangement could ease agricultural trade frictions, but the article gives no quantified feed-grain supply effect.
