Yeh, i think it once got up to around £1 = $3 a few years ago :D :D |
Re: exchange rate!
Well, its on the up. Gone up 7 cents in the last 10 days, now at $2.3750. Will we see $2.40 again, I hope so.

Re: exchange rate!

Re: exchange rate!
I've got settlement on a plot of land and a house coming up in the next couple of weeks, so I will be hanging on and hoping right up until the last moment! 2.4 would be very nice. I don't think we'll see 2.5 for a while you. I seem to remember a few months back it got to 2.485 and then all the BIG financial dealers must have started selling as the rate shot back down again (one to remember)

Re: exchange rate!
£ Traded over $2.38 for a while this morning, so its still heading north slowly. Not sure how much momentum it has though.

Re: exchange rate!
Just checked rates on HIFX and the spot rate is 2.3960!! It's jumped over 1% today (and from 2.38 to 2.3960 since about lunchtime).
One currency broker I just spoke to said he didn't know why the Aussie is weakening so much, but the Kiwi $ is down 1.4% against the £. |

Re: exchange rate!
I,m watching it like a hawk aswell.I,ve exchanged a third of my money in case it dropped.Like youcanlaugh (hi Neil) i,m exchanging on a block in a couple of weeks so timing is everything.On the whole i,m happy with the rate at the mo as it,s been hovering lower for the past couple of weeks and it seems to have shot up the last 2-3 days.2.4 would be the icing on the cake.

2.44 is the ten year average.i,ve just looked on the bbc market data site and it,s $2.39410.Not far off average and i don,t mind average. I spoke to a couple on monday and when they came over they got $1.95 :eek: |
Re: exchange rate!
We have our $100,000 bond to lodge and are holding out at the mo as things are on the up ... also watching rate like a hawk ... will be gutted if it drops again. Never been one to get a buzz off a gamble it just makes me feel sick. I would have exchanged by now but OH keeps holding out .. aaaargghhh
Need a few :beer: |

Re: exchange rate!
it,s raining here in Perth at the mo and we,ve no phone here in the rental,but it think i,m going to go out to a phone box and exchange enough for the land.I,m dealing with the com bank in London so i,ll easy catch them now.My opinion is it,s peaking about now 2.4 has been a bit of a hurdle to get way past for a bit now so i,ll take 2.39 and leave the rest in if it drops to 2.35 i,ll exchange the rest as that wont make a massive difference with what i,ve got left.
Coat on then and i,ll let you know within the hour what the guy at the com bank reckons. dave Ps.the above is only my opinon don,t use it and blame me when it goes to $2.50 :D |
Re: exchange rate!
Got it.The lady i spoke to could,nt give any idea,s on whats happening as she normally deals with the new zealand $.
Good luck to everyone here,s :beer: to an upward trend. |
