Re: 1.93's A$ to the Pound!!!

Re: 1.93's A$ to the Pound!!!

I imagine the markets had priced in a rate hike already, and the lack of one has pushed the exchange rate down a little.

I imagine that there will be a rate hike next month though, so it will be...

It's done this because last week I ordered a computer system from the UK, so as soon as I make a reasonably large purchase, you can expect the exchange rate to head in a direction likely to frustrate...

Re: 1.93's A$ to the Pound!!!

I believe that can be done, just not sure if it represents a capital loss or an income loss - Unless I am mistaken, you can't offset a capital loss against an income loss and vice versa.

Re: 1.93's A$ to the Pound!!!
