BUT, UK unemployment was expected to be 7.6% and Australian unemployment rate is up from 5.7% so UK's figures are 'good' news and Australia's figures are 'bad' news. Go back and list GDP growth figures for UK and Australia for say 5 years. UK has been a basket case but Australia has been one of the least GFC affected major economies so very good growth figures. Coming off such a flat base UK is now showing good growth. Some analysis here if you want more than soundbites: http://www.futurecurrencyforecast.co...-rebound/23295 |

No, your analysis is a bit on the umm over-simplistic side - exchange rates are affected by so many things and at different times.
It was what some of the smartarses were saying on here whilst gloating about the 'demise' of the UK. |

No they didn't. Do a search on any threads related to the strength of the AUD to the UKP and you will see that the BE Economists quite happily talked down the UKP. I've posted on this before.
the cause, or even about the health of the economy?I know G is grumbling about anything that reports the Uk economy in a poor light preferring to talk about his family's finances rather than micro or macro economics. I do know that for years people observed the fall of the Gbp and so it came to pass..and it's finally improving. I of course don't credit this fall to Be...much of the talk was the reflection of what was happening..gleaned from secondary sources. I do know people have mentioned the Us a lot recently as a cause and indeed a factor, and the Us has often been mentioned by lots of people on Be. |

Man this dollar keeps rising. Good as I want to send some dollars to the UK, bad as I thought it was on the eternal slide.
Unemployment figures came out lower than expected today and its gone off for another climb again. |

Same for the UK Australia is doing okay - just okay but nothing to really boost the AUD so much Commodity prices are not collapsing - which is always going to support the AUD |

And has Hockey ever convinced you of his sure footed, sober, understanding of macroeconomics and demand led growth? |
