Exchange rate feels low after the highs of over $2 but if you take an average over the past 10 years the rate is $1.71, today we are at $1.585, yes its below average but not by a massive amount, the Government don't want it much higher so they won't do anything to help holidaymakers get higher rates, they are more interested in lower rates to help our export industry. IMO $1.60 ish is about as good as we will get for near future but hope I am wrong.

Wayne we can only live in hope. I would be happy with over $1.60 when I go to pay my dues.

Barclays reckon it's going to $1.82 next year:

Also they think it will go to 78p vs the euro as well which would be nice.
No idea how accurate their predictions are but it's nice to hear somebody talking in support of sterling...

I always look at and talk about the $ but for me the Euro is more important as I import on average 500 euro's of flowers per week. A strong £ in 2011 would be very much appreciated here with VAT going up.

since the UK seems to be taking the necessary measures to strengthen the econonmy, it could well be that the rate will improve next year....especially given that the US so far hasn't taken the necessary steps...

in general, the US economy seems to be headed downhill over the longhaul, which should weaken the dollar against the pound....
