PeepingTom Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Yeah wasn't really expecting anybody to say it would lol. Even if it stays at 2.17 or something like that. It still helps me The dollar had finally reached a tipping point and was likely to keep heading down.

Guest Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I use currrency fair and can usually get within half a cent, sometimes better than the rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Biatch Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Now at 2.21 - wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DivingMissDaisy Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I use currrency fair and can usually get within half a cent, sometimes better than the rate. Haven't heard of that one, usually use HiFX. Are they easy to use? Not in any rush to bring money over, but wish I had a crystal ball on how the rate will go!

Guest John from Moneycorp Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Back to 2.15. Happy with my transfer at 2.17 now! Crazy week for the exchange rate!

Guest John from Moneycorp Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 The weekly currency review is below, have a good weekend all - thanks. The commodity currencies are ending the week in recovery mode having been driven lower in the immediate aftermath of the Chinese equity collapse on Monday. The Australian dollar will continue to trade with great emphasis on how China’s economic outlook projects. The fall was halted just shy of the psychological level of A$0.7000 represnting yet another new 6 year low. In light of the weakening trade prospects between Australian and China, the pressure for the Reserve Bank of Australia to deliver further interest rate cuts form the current 2.0% rate will mount.

Guest xmas lights Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Big retrace against the pound. With current state of play it should be homing in on 2.25. 2.40 is the peak for me next year. Would need a total collapse in Chinaland to get to that region imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 So it's not likely to go under 2 anytime soon? I just keep having this bad feeling that when I go to change I'll end up with a crap rate after being smug about it being good :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest51810 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I've only got around 1500 or 1600 I could exchange at the moment so I'd rather wait till my very last wage before I go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
