Default Any crystal ball owners out there ???...

Actually, any international market analysts amongst us? My company needs to transfer some cash from US to here, and I'm wondering if there's anything round the corner that might strengthen/weaken the dollar/pound to make it prudent to do it sooner rather than later. The dollar seems to have strengthened against the pound the last few days, but is it going to continue?? Any opinions?

I know a Nigerian diplomate that would be more than happy to handle the transaction for you

Failing that buy when your high and not when your on the loo, or something like that.

Somebody will correct me if I'm wrong here (I don't follow the markets much) but I seem to recall that the fall in the dollar was prompted by the current Arab/Israeli conflict and the US's high dependence on (cheap) oil. More so than the UK at least, hence the high dollar/sterling exchange rate.

If so, don't expect any big movement until the crisis is resolved or at least the full strength UN peacekeeping force is in place and working.
