Default Possible good news on the exchange rate front for waiting migrants

The following was part of a report in today's Sydney Morning Herald which suggests the recent strength of the Aussie Dollar against the £ may not be sustainable:

FX Max currency trader Clifford Bennett said the dollar's recent surge has the hallmarks of a currency bubble, as there was no underlying trade flows to support it.

"The Australian dollar is more vulnerable than any other currency in the world to a major sell-off should a US dollar bounce be sustained," Mr Bennett said


So it may be worth waiting for the exchange rate to improve (sorry PB & Dotty)

This time last year is was at $2.5 (I know I went here on holiday and it cost me a fortune). The week we got back it went back to to $2.75.

I was told by the nerdy FX people at work, that Australia has an Interest rate cut on the horizon and as soon as that comes in to place the A$ will go back to the 2.7 mark.
They might be strange freaky people who wear gray suits and gray socks, but I will like them if it is true!
