This article was published before we became the Chartered Institute of Export & International Trade on 10 July 2024, and this is reflected in references to our old brand and name. For more information about us becoming Chartered, visit our dedicated webpage on the change here.

At our recent World Trade Summit in Bristol in July we were delighted to hear from Daniel Ashley, a FX Dealer at Bibby Foreign Exchange Ltd, about how currency markets have changed since the UK voted to leave the EU in 2016. You can watch Dan's presentation below. 

It covers:

  • How political events have taken over from data to become the main driver of FX markets
  • Examples of how major political events have affected FX markets in recent years
  • An assessment of how a 'No Deal Brexit' could affect FX markets in the future
  • How exporters can mitigate currency risk in volatile times

The IOE&IT and Bibby Financial Services recently announced a partnership to provide the UK’s exporters and importers with regular updates and tools relating to international currency markets. You can read more about this partnership here
