I think its fairly important the lowest price today is left behind and we go higher. Im optimistic so long as it does that
We've had a good sharp reaction upwards which is usually a positive. USA GDP growth is 1.7% vs our own more modest growth but its often anticipated news thats a turning point
Otherwise sterling could turn negative for the year at an accelerated pace.

Carney is a subscriber to the thread, we went higher. Good trend in general, 1.57 is when is most likely to fall apart again though just getting there is positive compared to the previous threatened '13 trend failure

Cade_Foster

keeps trying to hit 1.56 today but just short, come on get higher.

Cade_Foster

Sterling keeping its head above water but theres the August peak to beat & 1.58 to 1.6 is the dreamboat scenario if everyone loves Sterling (or hates dollars) for some reason

At which point its most likely to fall again, of course.

Overall August peak was lower then June and there is a good chance Sept is lower then August - ie. this is as good as it gets

Trend 2009 to '13 downwards
March 8th to September 4th - upwards

Was loud & clear in yesterday's webinar "The last currency to be sold against USD or any other is GBP"

That some praise, up today but not impressively so. If he were right, its biggest gains are ahead, as yet its on repeat

We brought some dollars with us, but hoping the Saga card will pay off. Here until end of the month.
