It was doing well this morning, hovering around a 12 month high but this afternoon lost around 2 cents from this mornings high.

Must have been me as everytime I say its going well it goes back down again. Keeping my mouth shut from now on, this will be hard to do.

Well it wasn't me today. I was so busy all day there were times where if you had asked me my name I would have looked at you blankly and gone "Huh? "

It has to pick up a bit soon.

To be perfectly honest Im happy enough at the $1.60 mark considering what we got last year this is a big improvement, but I will still pray for it to go up.

It's what I have said all along - last year we were desperate for it to hit 1.50. When grumbling and discouragement set in, refer to the first few posts on this thread

When i went in 08 it was 2.0 - couldnt believe it in 09 when it was around 1.65, now this year struggling to keep round the 1.6 mark!! Waiting to see if i can get it better than 09, then i'll jump in lol

Well BOE meet today and I wonder what Mr King will say to derail the pound, every time he says something the pound goes down in value. Hopefully he says some good about our economy and the pound soars.

theoretically, as the yen falls, the dollar should strenthen against all currencies, but in the long run, the british government is doing a better job in its economic policies than the US....so theoretically, in the long run the pound should do much better than the dollar.....but who knows what will happen in practice....so many factors are involved....
but if i were a betting man, i'd bet on the pound vs the dollar...the US govt just doesn't seem to have the intestinal fortitude to do what it takes in dealing with the debt crisis, while the british govt does....
