Also due to speculation that the European central banks will cut interest rates as the global economy is heading for a major recession.

What's your prediction Indie?
Is the exchange rate going to keep falling, or stabilize out soon?

There are many methods for predicting the future. For example, you can read horoscopes, tea leaves, tarot cards, or crystal balls. Collectively, these methods are known as \"nutty methods.\" Or you can put well-researched facts into sophisticated computer models, more commonly referred to as \"a complete waste of time......Dilbert


The nutty methods are more reliable these days, so let me consult with my tarrot cards and tea leaves....

Right, here you go: The medium term trend looks bearish; most likely the bottom is still away. There may be short term bounce backs.

i think it will stabilise, maybe it's just wishful thinking, but the initial drop was a knee-jerk reaction to bank of england's statement...

mind you, at least i get paid in dhs, so at least one of us in our household is going to be ok no matter what happens...!
