Free Guidance on the Currency Markets?
When

you sign up with
World First money transfer, you will receive market updates, forecasts and the support and guidance of a dedicated currency dealer, for free. Your personal dealer will get to know your specific needs and let you know when rates are moving in your favour.
Knowing the dates of important economic events might be very helpful, especially when you need to transfer a large amount of money abroad. Currency exchange rates are often influenced by major economic or political events. When making a large international money transfer or sending large amounts of money abroad, you might want to consider using these events in your favour. Currency changes might be expected close to a significant economic event. You might want to plan to make international money transfers when the rate is favourable. Of course, it can work both ways – you can find rates that are not in your favour too. You should always consult an expert and make a smart decision if you are looking for the ‘right time’.
We hope this high-level economic calendar for 2020 has assisted you with finding the right timing for your international money transfers. Please do come back here for more updates.
