tonyjg Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Well... given that this part of the forum has quietly 'died' - fewer posts, and fewer people - there is at least some good news - with the $A getting close to US$1.05 today. Might be time to suggest some gift certs on Amazon.... gee... how long is it to the Black Friday sales...... Black Friday in 2012 is on Friday, the 30th of November ...... ecck.. a long time yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bernievink Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Aha but Now it's back to 108 US cents and another new High against the British Pound As I purchase most of my overseas Blurays from the UK, the exchange rate to the GBP is my main concern. US dollar can go up or down makes no difference to me. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwd Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Yes the British pound keeps sinking down the gurgeler compared to major currencies worse than the Euro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyjg Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 yep - just as I'm planning on heading to the USofA in 3 weeks time Given - there's not really much that I'd be buying there except far cheaper clothes. Blu bargains at B&M stores are extremely limited these days. We can blame Swannie for the poor economy and budget 'fantasy' ! "yes... in 10 yrs time we'll be building that road !!" Or ... I could hold off until Sept - Vegas in July and August is just too hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slattery Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I'm in Vegas in October. It'll prob be 75c by then :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSmith Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 http://www.smh.com.au/business/markets/currencies/is-this-as-good-as-it-gets-for-the-aussie-dollar-20170724-gxh9s9.html Capital Economics economist Paul Dales said there were two main reasons he doubted the Aussie would maintain its lofty levels for much longer. For one, the RBA was in no rush to lift rates given lingering uncertainties around the economy's strength. Secondly, Mr Dales isn't convinced the recent spike in iron ore prices, which have shot up 25 per cent over the past month to $US67 a tonne, will last. A drop back in the price of Australia's biggest export earner to around $US50 a tonne by the end of the year should weaken the Australian dollar, he said. "The combination of those two developments may be enough to drag the dollar back down to $US70¢." Hopefully this is after BF sales...
