*Hedging involves risk
What a year for FX markets.
Central Bank divergence. USD weakened. GBP swung wildly. EUR held steady...
The lesson? Policy divergence creates both opportunity and risk. Businesses that hedged, navigated it. Those that didn't, felt it.
Here's to #2026 🥂

UK inflation: 3.2% (below 3.5% forecast). GBP dropped 0.8%.
BoE decides tomorrow. Cut odds: 85-90%. But the committee's split 4-4, with Bailey casting the deciding vote.
Managing international payments? Tomorrow's tone could move Sterling sharply.

Christmas Jumper Day at Fiscal FX ✨
Festive knitwear ✓
Team spirit ✓

We work hard, deliver results, and have fun doing it. December's volatility doesn't slow us down—neither does a questionable snowman pattern.
To our team: thank you. Let's finish 2025 strong
Budget delivered. GBP rose. Markets relieved.
But BoE rate cut now 90% likely on Dec 18. Higher taxes may pressure faster cuts. Sterling vulnerable.
International payments at risk? Consider Forward Contracts to hedge.
