    Did the US dollar blip?

    My banks USD->AUD rate went from 0.8929 to 0.8783 overnight - about a 1.6% change in my favour. It's the first major improvement in something like 60+ days of a steady downward trend.

    Today's rate beats the 7 and 14 day averages.

    I'll be watching this very closely, I haven't deposited any cheques for over a month because the rate has been so shitty.

    Still gone up 11% since November last year.

    I read an article only a few days ago saying it would reach $1 <-> $1 within a year.

        Hell, at this rate i'm almost at parity at the bank machine anyways here in Canada. I think it was 98.6 cents CDN to $1 American - just brutal.

        I swear i might let the sites run on autopilot for 6 months since its almost not worth even trying with no 30&#37; bonus anyways.

              Arguing with a troll is a lot like wrestling in the mud with a pig, after a couple of hours you realize the pig likes it.

                  LOL!!! And sure as death and taxes, it will be a lot worse

                  So far the predictions earlier this year have played out - if these stay on course, it's probable a further 5% drop in dollar value by the end of this year and fairly safe (tho who knows?) to predict an overall decrease of 10% from now to the end of next year.

                    I have a script which pulls the values from my bank each day, and as you can see there's a big diff between 26th and 27th (Australian EST). Perhaps your source - if it's outside of AU - will reflect that difference next time it updates?

                      It's Monday and my bank's rate is now down to 0.8569, which is a 4&#37; change since Thursday. It has dropped in a few days what it previously gained in 30+ days

                        Just checked - these levels are described as "averages" taken for each day, so there is going to be some variation
