Image © Adobe Images The Pound to Euro exchange rate reached new highs for the year during the final day of trading, serenading along the way what has been a rollercoaster recovery that leaves it within a short distance of post-referendum highs as the curtain closes on 2021. Pound Sterling edged above November's 2021 high at 1.1931 on Friday following a volatile final quarter of the year, and leaving GBP/EUR within arm's reach of post-referendum highs located a short distance above the nearby 1.20 handle. This extended December rally lifted the Pound-Euro rate's 2021 gain to 7.7% in the final hours of trading for the year, and came in a buoyant market for risk assets where major stock indices were higher and U.S. Dollar exchange rates were lower against all but the lowest yielding major currencies. "It maintains a decent upward trend since the days following the BoE's hike in mid-month," says Shaun Osborne, chief FX strategist at Scotiabank. "...

Who hasn't watched markets rally and thought about getting in and buying stocks? Maybe you've heard from some friends who made a few good bets and thought "I'd like to give that a try." How do you do it? While an education in buying and selling stocks can be a lifetime process, the initial startup is a matter of a few easy steps. Do you need a broker? The short answer is no—you don't need a living, advice-giving, fee-charging broker (although you shouldn't rule them out).

Fee schedules may apply for options contracts and futures. Direct stock plans permit investors to buy shares from the issuing company. T...

At the interbank forex market, the local unit opened at 74.92 against the greenback and witnessed an intra-day high of 74.60 and a low of 74.95.  "In the last few sessions, movement in the rupee has been led by RBI intervention and weakness in the dollar index.

IT'S always interesting to peek into other people's baskets. For investors, looking at the year's best-selling funds acts as something of a proxy for what's been on investors' minds these past 12 months. Top 10 most popular funds on the Fidelity Personal Investing platform over 2021. Go global… Markets headed into 2021 off the back of a bumper 2020 which saw stocks soar out of their Covid nadirs. With a few bumps along the way, this year's market trend has continued broadly upwards. The big question for investors in January was how best to follow it there. Of course, we didn't know that at the time. Uncertainty still lingered in the air. As such, keeping your equity allocation global made sense. Doing so meant not having to decide which regions to back, while still having exposure to any broad recoveries. It's no surprise to see that our top three funds are all global equity funds. Nevertheless, a broad-based allocation like this...
