I understand predicting the future currency rates is very hard and there are many variables that influence it.
However, do you have any longer term predictions on the GBP/NZD rate - maybe with a view toward the end of the year?
We had to send money to NZ a few months ago for a house build and the rate was early 2.5's - so we'd be very happy if it got up to 3.20+ in December or Jan when we will be looking to send the bulk of our money to NZ when we move.
Thanks Dave, like I said, enjoy reading your posts on this subject

Welcome DaveC!
I'm afraid I can't be of help to you there. My area of specialization is short-term technical trading; 8 months is eons in my world!!!
Maybe one of the other members who are into fundamentals might be of more assistance.
Good luck with it!!!

No worries, thanks for the quick response!
We'll keep an eye on the rate (well I do on an hourly basis - drives my partner mad!) and keep reading all the info we can on the subject!
Fingers crossed.

Hi Dave,
We fly out to LA on 14th June then onto NZ. We were looking at using American Express travellers cheques. What's the best way to get our currency for USA/NZ for best rates.

I might be stating the obvious but we look at the economic forecasts published by the National Bank NZ and the RBNZ (and Bloomberg where you'll find many recent conflicting predictions). As you know there are a number of variables affecting long term ER movements but it appears to me that the crucial one is whether (or when) they decide reduce the OCR.
If you read National's summary of key market forecasts (22/5/06) you'll notice that the National Bank have predicted that there could be a gradual decline in the OCR from Dec 06 in which case the NZD should fall but settle at 0.302.
Basically this is what they are forecasting for NZD/GBP: Jun 06 : 0.33; Sept: 0.31; Dec: 0.31; Mar 07: 0.29; Jun: 0.29; Sept: 0.30; Dec: 0.30.

Thanks for that Janet, much appreciated.
I hadn't actually read that National Bank NZ report and it does make interesting reading. I'll keep it bookmarked and read the releases as they come out.
Once again, thanks

Re: meeeeeeeowwwwwwww NZ dollar in freefall predictions of where it will hit the grou
Hello.....
Dave, you know I'm selling my house in the UK, and then buying one here in NZ.... just had a Memorandum of Sale through today saying expected completion date to be middle of July.... any predictions as to whats going to happen with the exchange rate..... what do you reckon?
This is a rather blonde question but I have a Lloyds account still open in the UK and a Westpac one here.... what do I tell the solicitor to do with the money? Obviously they will pay off the mortgage and take their fees out first but then what?? Will they TT it over here to the Westpac account?? Does it have to stay in Sterling in the UK?..... I AM blonde so I can ask this...
Help please!! Cheers Sarah x

I'm in "Hold" mode on the NZ$. As I have previously stated, I feel we need it to push solidly through $3.06 to feel comfortable we are heading for $3.10 in the interim & ultimately $3.21. On the downside, again as previously mentioned, I would be concerned if it dropped to under $2.90 as that would likely see a drop to well under $2.80. I noticed the recent profit taking/consolidation held above the $2.91 support level I had intimated(phew!!).
My gut feeling is that with current economic fundamentals we should see the rate moving higher again but exactly how quickly is anyone's guess!!
I'm not 100% sure on what will happen with your house sale proceeds but I'm 99.9% sure it will have to be paid in £, so therefore into your UK bank account & then you can transfer the money from there.
Hope it all goes well for you!

Sarah,
Your solicitor will be wanting to pay the money in to a UK GBP (LLoyds) account. Get them to stick the proceeds in your existing Lloyds account... and then use a currency broker like HiFX (there are others) to buy the required NZD amount and transfer the final sum in to your Westpac account.
Your order with the broker will nominate a source (GBP) and target (NZD) account - quite simple in practice once you have the facility set up. You then simply need to decide how much to transfer across.

At the moment I am sending cheques to a friend in NZ who is then paying them into the bank - much cheaper than wiring money from a UK bank account!
Good luck and hurray for the change in exchange rates (was 2.59 when I left last year).

Hey Dave (hope you're still around),
Looks like the GBP is on the rise against the NZD again. Sitting just above the 3.06 rate at the moment. From what you've said earlier, are we hoping it closes above 3.06 today so that previous level of resistance becomes support?

Even just from an inetersest rate standpoint the GB£ is likely to strengthen against the NZ$.

Certainly sounding very promising then.
Not long now till you make your move then, you must be gearing up for that now?
