June 2025 Update for International Clients in the Costa Tropical & Granada Region
If you’re buying or selling property in Spain and dealing with international money transfers, currency fluctuations can make a big difference to your bottom line. This week, we’re seeing some notable developments in the GBP, EUR, and USD markets—here’s what’s happening and what it might mean for your plans.
🇬🇧 GBP – Cautious Optimism for the Pound
The British Pound has started the week on a slightly stronger footing, supported by steady UK economic indicators and a generally positive tone in global markets.
💡 However, the upcoming UK government spending review could test confidence in how well the country is managing its finances. If upcoming labour market data shows any weakness—or if growth figures disappoint—this could weigh on the Pound’s strength later in the week.
That said, there’s an overall tone of cautious optimism. For UK-based buyers, this may offer a short window of opportunity to transfer funds before any downside risk returns.

🇪🇺 EUR – Mixed Movements But Positive Signals
The Euro has had a bit of a rollercoaster. Last week, it was initially dragged lower by a fall in inflation—raising speculation about further rate cuts from the European Central Bank.
But by the end of the week, sentiment had improved thanks to:
- Better-than-expected economic data from across the Eurozone
- A cautious but measured tone from ECB President Christine Lagarde
- An upward revision in Eurozone growth expectations
This week is quieter for Eurozone data, so expect broader market movements and ongoing EU-US trade talks to steer the currency.
🔍 If you’re a seller in Spain receiving Euros from an international buyer, or looking to repatriate funds, this may be a good time to explore transfer options.
🇺🇸 USD – Watching Inflation & Trade Developments
The U.S. Dollar has started the week on slightly weaker ground. Why?
Markets are in a wait-and-see mode ahead of two big developments:
- US-China trade talks
- Wednesday’s U.S. inflation report
Optimism about easing trade tensions is putting downward pressure on the Dollar for now. But any surprise in the inflation data could shift expectations for future Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, potentially giving the Dollar a lift—or pushing it lower.
💬 For buyers bringing Dollars into Spain or sellers returning funds to the U.S., this is a week to pay attention.
