Changing supplier, sourcing market or manufacturing location can reshape your financial exposure too.

A new supply chain may introduce:

• Different currencies
• New payment timings
• Longer lead times
• Different working-capital requirements

That means procurement decisions can quickly become finance decisions.

When your supply chain changes, it is worth reviewing your currency exposure at the same time.

GBP/USD has fallen to a 7-week low following the Federal Reserve's decision last night to raise interest rates, strengthening the US dollar and putting further pressure on sterling.

Key highlights from the announcement:

- The Fed increased its benchmark interest rate to a range of 3.75% to 4.00%
- Policymakers signalled that further tightening may still be required to bring inflation under control
- Updated projections indicate rates could remain elevated through 2026 and 2027
- President Trump has continued to call for interest rate cuts despite the Fed's current stance.

A future payment might be certain, even when the exact payment date is not.

An open window forward contract can provide a fixed rate while allowing funds to be drawn down during an agreed window, subject to the terms of the contract.

That flexibility can be useful when shipment, delivery or project dates may change, but you still want greater certainty over currency costs.

Speak to Spectrum about whether a forward strategy suits your payment cycle.

When a central bank changes interest rates, markets often react before the decision is even announced.

Why? Because currencies are influenced by expectations.

Inflation data, economic growth, employment figures and comments from policymakers can all change what markets think will happen next.

For businesses with international costs or revenue, the key question is often not “what happened today?” but “what is the market starting to price in next?”

Understanding that difference can make currency planning more informed.
