I got $1.99 in Feb 2006

Hope I will get a bit more on the next transfer though!

OUch!!!

According to the Independent, the markets are expecting UK interest rates to be 5% by the end of the year. So hopefully that will push up exchange rates a bit even if Canadian rates continue to rise.

I got 1.97 3 weeks ago (after currency company take their cut), it's up to 2.06 today
I think I'll stop watching it now

Just hit $2.07!! now if it can keep going up till next summer.....!!!

Everyone start praying, pray hard I tell you, HARDER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just checked www.xe.com and it's up to $2.085!!

KEEP PRAYING PEOPLE!!!!!

My forecast is on schedule! "2.20 in August or thereabouts !"

We were able to get $2.30-2.45 last September, when we came over to put money down for the house were are building in Hamilton.

Not liking this $2.02 malarky at all

$2.0904 on Yahoo finance right now.

A continued US dollar drop and a rate rise or two in the UK and we'll be sorted .

Higher interest rates appears to be the next move after the BoE predicted that inflation would hit its target level in the next couple years.

With recent robust macro economic indicators coupled with high energy costs, many analyst are predicting that an upward move in rates is a near possibility.

But, I do not follow this view, the UK economy is somewhat recovering but not to a point to push the BoE to raise rates in the near future. As for inflation its very well contained with no pass-through.

So, guys my bet is $2.15

P.S: Canadian rates are going up for sure

HIGHER!

$2.16

You call 20+% rises in gas prices 'no pass-through'? Not to mention a trebling of house prices in many areas over the last six or seven years?

The primary reason why Brown has been able to fiddle the figures to claim there's no significant inflation is because the cost of imports has been dropping (e.g. the vast masses of 20 quid DVD players from China). Last I read the cost of imports was rising, so that's hardly good news for inflation fiddlers.

Certainly almost everything I buy is up by far more than the claimed 2%, and most of the rest is down in quality at the same price.

$2.0948 on Yahoo now.

Pretty soon I'll have to think about maybe moving my ISA over...

2.0972 on XE. Come on keep going!!
