Nice one Dave.

 

Whats the general view of people as to buying Euros for the summer hols. Best to buy now or in few months. Whats the general opinion here. Will the pound go up or down?

Chip,

Your guess is as good as mine for how the rates will go - I just hope they'll go through the roof when I come to pay off the balance on the car

have a look at currencies4less.com and follow the links to the online exchange rate graphs - it gives you an idea over a moving average of a week but you'd have to ring up for a definite spot rate which changes by the second / minute. If I'd have got my deposit in last week I'd have got approx 1.63 euro but only got 1.60 today (due to a certain other bank's lard-asses but that's another story)

if you look at high street rates, it's daylight robbery for tourists - natwest today, sell 1.55, buy 1.77

No fx trader by a long stretch, but there was talk in the evening standard today that following the hike in inflation we may be the first G7 country to put up our interest rates.

If our rates go up it follows that the pound will strengthen and you then you can get more Euros for your money.

Any traders care to confirm?
