Re: GBP/AED hits 6.85...............
Did the GBP become weaker or did the AED become stronger?

Re: GBP/AED hits 6.85...............
Its temporary USD strength. The chart does look dramatic but its rather deceptive as the rate has not even fallen 10% yet.

Re: GBP/AED hits 6.85...............
The chart looks more dramatic than it is because it doesn't start at zero. As Shadya says, it is less than a 10% fall but if you are sending money home, or want to return home with some money in the bank one day it is at least a move in the right direction.
My understanding is that the dollar has strengthened because of a fall in the price of oil while the pound has weakened because our economy is in danger of collapsing into a soggy heap on the floor. I can't see our (ie the UK) economy suddenly improving so the rate may yet continue to improve for a while. |
