By Steven C. Johnson

NEW YORK, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Sterling and the euro rose against the dollar on Monday, rebounding from last week's losses as European stock prices rose and British bank Barclays said it would report a pretax profit for 2008.

The slightly sunnier mood also lifted commodity currencies such as the Canadian dollar CAD= and nudged the U.S. dollar higher against the yen ahead of a Federal Reserve policy-setting meeting later this week.

But the British pound was still not far from a 23-year low against the greenback, and worries about the banking sector and the global economy kept investors cautious.

"The Barclays news was the first good news from the UK financial sector in a while and boosted the idea that maybe the UK is stepping back from the brink," said David Watt, senior currency strategist at RBC Capital Markets in Toronto.

"But sentiment is still quite shaky, and at the first sign of bad news, people are prepared to run for the hills again."

European shares were more than 1 percent on Monday, boosted by Dutch financial group ING (ING.AS), which said it would tap into government guarantees, and Barclays (BARC.L), which said it would not need new funding.

Early in New York, the dollar was up 0.3 percent at 89.09 yen JPY= while the euro rose 0.8 percent to 116.30 yen EURJPY=, well off a multiyear low near 112 yen last week.

The euro also changed hands at $1.3112 EUR=, up 0.9 percent, while sterling rose 0.7 percent to $1.3902 GBP=. Last week, it hit a 23-year low at $1.3502.

Earlier, sterling was pressured after Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee member David Blanchflower was quoted on Sunday as saying British interest rates still had a way to go if they were to follow the United States [ID:nLO542246].

Key US rates are now targeted in a range of zero to 0.25 percent. British rates are at 1.5 percent.

Polish Zloty Forecast (01 July 2009)..............................

What’s going on with the Polish Zloty (PLN)?

If you have a look at this graph showing the 2 year history for PLN against British Pounds (GBP) you can see that the zloty has considerably weakend over the last few months and has spent most of this year above the 5.0 mark:Polish Zloty exchange rate history

Those of you who have been living in Poland for a while will know that back in 2004 when Poland joined the European Union you could get up to 7 zloty to the pound. Since then the Polish economy has steadily been growing (at a faster rate than that of the UK) so it’s no surprise to see the trend since then has been for the zloty to strengthen. In fact the zloty strengthened to just over 4 zloty to the pound back in August 2008.

PLN Exchange Advice

Due to the general decline of the pound against the zloty since EU membership the traditional advice when needing to buy Polish Zloty has generally been to buy as soon as possible to get the best exchange rate, but this advice seems to have gone out of the window recently.

I talked to my personal currency broker Martin Fox from Currency Solutions about what is going on with the Polish zloty at the moment and why the exchange rate has been fluctuating so much. The article below is the result of what he had to say.

Polish Zloty Forecast

The Polish zloty remains weak against its major international currency partners as the economic forecast is distinctly downbeat. The Polish zloty has slumped 8.7% against the US dollar and 8.5% against the euro in 2009, displaying the worst performance of 16 emerging market economies tracked by Bloomberg.

The financial crisis has hit Poland hard through a combination of reduced foreign investment and the collapse of global trade. The European Commission expects the Polish budget deficit to widen to 6.6% of GDP this year, as opposed to 3.9% in 2008, well above the euro adoption threshold of 3%. Inflation rates are also running at 2.8%, above the euro threshold of 1.5%, prompting speculation that the downturn may set back Polish plans to adopt the euro until 2013.

For the Polish government, economic stabilization and containing debt levels remain a priority at present. Internationally, confidence in global recovery is growing but the financial situation remains fragile. This had led to a revival of safe haven trading recently and zloty has remained weak on the back of this.

This week economic industrial and consumer confidence in the eurozone has risen to levels not seen since November 2008, suggesting the eurozone may be beginning the slow road to economic recovery. However while economic uncertainty prevails, zloty is likely to take direction from wider market movements such as the appetite for risk and this could bring greater volatility and low trading ranges in the short term.

To get the best exchange rates for zloty currency transfer, timing and the right information are crucial.

The cross rates on this page are based on the Reference Exchange Rates published by the European Central Bank.

The reference rates are averages of buying and selling rates against the euro, calculated according to the daily concertation procedure between central banks within and outside the European System of Central Banks, by paying due attention to ensuring that the published exchange rates reflect the market conditions prevailing at the time of the daily concertation procedure.

Actual market transactions are affected by a number of factors, such as location and type of transaction (buying or selling), and might be carried at different rates. This data is released for reference purposes only.

Euro Converter - Spain's Euro Converted to Other Major Currencies.........................

Spain has used the euro since 2002, which replaced the old peseta. It is the same currency that is used in much of Western Europe (apart from Switzerland, the UK, Denmark and Sweden). The euro is the only currency accepted in Spain - it is unlikely you'll be able to use anything else, even in the airport. It may be possible to exchange old Spanish peseta notes in a bank, but no shop will accept them anymore.
