USD to EURO exchange rate: (1 Viewer)

[Break Neck Speed]

I bought dollars a while back when it was at 1.44. Ive a load of money saved again (heading to NYC in 3 wks). Should i change today with the rate at 1.28? Once the new president is elected will this bring stability to usa & drive the rate even lower?

Thanks.

I'm not really sure you could answer that with any certainty. I wouldn't carry a huge rake of cash around with me there. I just use my cards when I'm over.

Ive been buying dollars when the rate was good & was gona change em back to euro before i go. (the buy back rate is better than the sell rate) Then gona stick the euros on the credit card & use that. Thats all fucked now though as all the dollars i got at 1.44 im better of keeping as usd coz of the current rate.

Like the quoted rate is never anything you'll get on paypal or in a bank, so I keep track of every transaction and compare it to what is on Google

Paypal are usually taking about 2%-3%

But it's comparable to what I'd get if I flew home and exchange the dollars in an AIB

Google is quoting $1.218 right now from the markets, but best you'll get is $1.157 on the Paypal

It makes things handy for you coming home though doesn't it? Also stimulates US tourism into Ireland and other Eurozone nations.

Bang on. It does.

Like everything in Paris just got 20% cheaper in 3 months.

A pint in The Palace is about a dollar cheaper than it was in October. That's good news all over.

this is great for them in the short term but switzerland are fucked if they don't do something about this soon.

The day they removed the ceiliing, over 20% was wiped off swiss companies in their respective stock markets.

I've been trying to convince my boss to convert our dollar account into euros and then just use that money to buy more dollars when it recovers.

And also give me a bonus for being so resourceful and clever and for making the company money.

Didn't something really odd happen last week with Swiss government bonds? They went into negative interest or something? That is to say that if you bought them you were basically paying the Swiss to look after your money.

Well, this is a temporary thing isn't it? Is the expectation that things will move back into a more settled state right now?

I think the dollars were bought at around 1.35/1.38 so there's already a profit on them.

The Euro is going lower says the guy on the news

This is good news for old # 7, better news for those sitting on dollars they bought for 72c

the euro is going lower because of the quantitative easing that was announced yesterday. The aim of that is to stabilise inflation, partially by causing the euro to devalue (and hence, increase foreign trade).

Switzerland had been taking measures to control the value of their currency against the euro. Can't recall what these measures were but it was very important for their economy that they didn't become a very expensive country for the euro zone. Last week they voted to cease taking these measures. Almost immediately the value of the swiss franc went up 40% against the euro (stabilising at 20% by days end).

but they are truly fucked if something doesn't give soon.

Still remains to be seen what happens the brits, but they did this to their own currency several years ago, causing the arse to fall out it.

They are running scared of a deflation death spiral.
