Re: FX £ - $ AUD This week
Oh and we used HiFX to convert the money, just going to transfer it from their account (which it's been in for 10 days), to our new one.

Presume six months but not exactly sure. I am purchasing my currency on a flexible forward (pay 10% deposit now, pay remaining 90% within 1 year) so will have the draft printed when I leave for Oz, that way the date is not so important.

Hi Ralph
I would not put any foreign currency into your normal bank account they will charge you for the pleasure,you have a few option as I understand it
Option 1 Open Oz account from the UK deposit your funds in Oz, but you are required to go to Oz to activate your account in order to within draw funds,( photo id required passport/drivers licence).
Option 2 Open a UK foreign currency account here in the Uk until you are ready to move funds.
Your best bet would be to speak to your Bank/Broker and get some financial advice.Hope this helps

Yup it keeps on rolling down, starting to think I missed the boat! I suspect the markets are pricing in a 1% cut by the bank of england this week which alot of people seem to be shouting for!??

Bugger 4.30am, I want to know NOW
Hoping for major changes tomorrow, considering where it's sitting at the moment I feel crazy hoping for $2.65 again. Just hope I haven't missed the boat. Will kick myself big time if that is the case:curse:
One more spike needed! Maybe if I chant for long enough it will happen.....

Re: FX £ - $ AUD This week
$2.32 at 20.00 yesterday, up to $2.36 by the time of the 0.75% rate cut at 04.30, peaked at $2.37 at 05.30 and heading back down to $2.35 as I type....
What next? Well if BoE cut by only 0.5% I reckon the £ will fall again. 1% may seem aggresive enough to help the £ out and send it up. Then again it might cause panic and do the opposite. I threw the rule book out weeks ago.
.... so who knows????
and to think it was up at $2.60 only 8 days ago !!!
