Whaddya think guys - $1.70 trading by weeks end? Big news in the week coming, what with GDP and a rate decision - so it could be a bit choppy... but I will be optimistic!

don't be greedy..........

10:01 03Aug09 GBP/USD: 1.6850 Offers Tested, UK Mfg PMI Shock Underpins

London, August 3.

Cable has tested 1.6850 offers after building on gains fuelled by July"s much
better-than-expected UK manufacturing sector PMI--which came in above 50 (a
number above 50 indicates expansion, below 50 contraction). The data surprise has
lessened the probability of the BoE extending its QE Asset Purchase Programme. It
has also brought the question of when the BoE might hike Bank Rate into focus.
Bank Rate has been held at 0.5% since it was cut to that level in March. It was
5.0% 12 months ago.

Going away in 3 weeks
Bottled it and changed 2K on Saturday getting 1.64 dead.
Knowing my luck it will crack 1.70 now, lol

Only got 1.40 when we went away in Feb this year and calculated this holiday at getting 1.60 so happy enough but more $ for the same amount of £ never hurts!
