Exchange Rate
Does anyone have any idea if the exchange rate is due to turn. We have been watching it tumble recently to todays update of 2.3480 to 2.3580 with hifx.
I know we cant predict it, but is this 'normal' for this time of year or something??? This is unbelievable how its dropping sooo much. Just wondering if we can planish when to move some money over. |

It's freaking us out too. Yesterday seemed worse and it had us completely down as we've lost a bit of money over the past few days. Do you know what margin you are getting with hifx? We've changed to Ozforex and are getting a better margin. PM me if you want further info. We have about a week left then we have to transfer it...very stressful! Sandra |
Re: Exchange Rate
Same here. Got a completion date for our purchase in Oz of 17 June. Do hope things improve before then.....

Re: Exchange Rate
OH spoke to one of the girls who does international dealing at his work last week and she told him then that it was going to slide further with not much chance of it coming back up again any time soon. Armed with that knowledge (and I posted it on here too), we transferred there and then with ozforex and got 2.406. At that point, Ozforex had a slightly better rate than Hifx.
I'm so glad we did. We'd have lost a lot of $s if we'd waited. If you can wait it out, I'd try to rather than go with the low rates currently on offer. |

I woked my finances out on basis of 2.4-2.45-looks like a rethink may be in order-it all seems to be luck really:unsure: |
Re: Exchange Rate
We changed to Ozforex as they are giving us a better margin than HIFX. Also, you can exchange it on-line yourself without having to ring up.

What sort of rates can you get with Ozforex. We are with them at the moment. All they seem to tell us is that we are on the best rate because of the amount we will be trading. Any advice would be appreciated. p.s we just bought a car and need to exchange. Thankfully we will only loose a few hundred quid but still it's not great. J |

Had an issue with them not returning calls and information going missing so stopped dealing with them as felt if that was how things were going to progress there was no way we were going to trust them with our equity and savings!! But if needs must will have a quick look and see what the score is. |

we had a phone call from Ozforex today telling us we need to buy now as rate is going to drop more. We have not exchanged on our house so do not want to comit yet. Even when we have the next interest rate rise july / aug this is not going to make it go back up.

Re: Exchange Rate
Try this economic report, page 26.
http://www.anz.com/Business/info_cen...y/AEOJun07.pdf ANZ bank believe the AUD will weaken against the GBP in 2008, but who knows? Last year they predicted we would be up at $2.55 by now. It just depends on the relative strengths of the economy and the attractiveness of the curreny to investors. Cheers, Marcus. |
