Navigating Currency Volatility – How a Broker Can Help Finance Teams 

October 11, 2024

If you’re a CFO or part of a finance team, a broker can work with you to help manage your currency exposure and reduce the risk FX volatility can create. At Evolve Currency Management, our proactive approach means we’re ready when currency volatility occurs while also helping you plan for risks in the future. 

Currency Volatility and Your Business 

The FX market moves constantly, and in times of high volatility, a few days, hours, or even minutes can create significant FX implications. During Covid, the US dollar strengthened as deep uncertainty took hold. However, in the last few years, as normality has resumed, some currencies have gained ground. For instance, on September 28, 2022, GBP/USD was trading at 1.0750, and as of September 6, 2024, the currency pair was sitting around 1.3300* While the general trend is clear, within that overall rally are many smaller yet still significant GBP/USD  fluctuations that businesses have needed to manage.

What Creates FX Market Volatility?

The FX market is sensitive to central bank developments, economic data, commodity pricing, and geopolitical events. While some events are predictable, others aren’t. Having a proactive broker to help in times of volatility can be a beneficial way to manage FX risk for your business.
