I just switch over some money at $1.1993 at TDCT. sure is nice for our trip coming up soon

'Course, our loonie is rising steadily lately mostly because of soaring oil prices. So keep that in mind - hotels, food and tickets in the States may be cheaper, but gettin' there just got a whole lot more expensive (just call me Captain Bringdown ...)

You get a cheaper rate online. TDCT was 1.197 this morning.

Does anyone know if the Hurricane disaster will affect our dollar? I need to get some US money and have been waiting, but I don't know how the hurricane devastation will effect the US economy and in turn will effect our rate of exchange. I certainly noticed the 20 cent jump in gas prices this morning. Can anyone out there answer this for me? Any brilliant economists out there???? Thanks!!

TDCT 1.1875 today

 

[mom_rules]

All are still showing around 1.20 this morning-CharlesTD-is that an online rate too?

 

[CharlesTD]

That was our posted rate on the TD site last night at work. This was bank rate and online rate so no matter if you went to the branch or just transfered online.

 

[mom_rules]

How's it looking today-I missed the business report last night.

 

[eleanor]

The dollar is quoted at 84.33 this morning. haven't checked the bank rate.

 

[CharlesTD]

Sorry I forgot to check last night LOL.

Buzzfan - this reply may be too late for you, but anything that affects the overall U.S. economy (which Katrina may) or the price of fuel (which Katrina certainly has) will lead to a rise in our dollar. In other words, short-term, our dollar should strengthen - although as it nears $.85 U.S. I gotta believe both our feds and the Bank of Canada are starting to worry that it is simply too strong, and could start to act as a drag on our economy.

Trouble is, what are they gonna do about it? Normally, you would cut interest rates, but how far lower can they go? And the continued explosion in oil prices will most likely more than offset a rate cut. It seems we've weathered the 40% rise in the loonie over the past couple of years fairly well, but something's gonna give sooner or later ...

Internet banking at TDCT is 1.188 this am.
