Urr... if the pound is strong against the dollar, might not the dollar be weak against the pound? Seesaw effect.

"Michael Saunders, chief UK economist at Citigroup, ... the next move could be up or down. "

The next move could be up or down. This man's a genius!

Maybe Saunders was just being honest - there's a wide spectrum of different takes being promoted at the moment - anyone who simply listens to the pundits could be forgiven for being bemused.

Personally, I'm currently in the 'next move is up, but probably not just yet' camp.
