Tories + Lib Dem victory make sterling rise?
After a few days of discussions, many observers believe Tories and Liberal Democrats are forming a coalition government in United Kingdom. Currency analysts are now relieved that Gordon Brown seems to step down as Labours leader from September this year.
The new government are likely to cut borrowing sooner then a Labour government would and in general, it should do well for the economy and the british currency. Forex analysts already predict a hung parliment between conservatives and liberal democrats and they seem to like it – pound sterling rose by almost 1 % today. Interest rates might be adjusted upwards quicker with a conservative government – which might give additional strenght to the sterling.
