Guderian Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 The furlough schemes in the UK and EU are hiding the true horror of what's happening to the jobs market. The US and Thailand are more cruel, but also more honest. So a falling USD and THB are what you'd expect right now, but just wait until the furloughs end and see what happens then. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a strong Thai Baht that has caused the exchange rate to change , also the uncertainty about Brexit , once the money markets know what is going to happen , the Pound will rise again 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, that was purely because the USD fell like a limp exhausted organ, and has nothing to do with the UK economy. correct, the same thing happened to the Euro but it was short lived 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds are the Pound will fall then. I agree.Rightly or wrongly the US$ like the Swiss Franc is still a currency haven in times of turbulence.The British economy will take a decade to recover and the currency will reflect that.Those who are able to take advantage of Sterling's relative strength against the Baht should do so now.I doubt the opportunity will be there in a year's time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, the UK has had it's chips. Ever since the Suez canal debacle, the country has been in decline. Now it has got serious financial issues, an awful government, a population and government still divided over Brexit, divided royal family harbouring a possible pedo, race riots as a result of uncontrolled immigration, home-grown terrorism, eye-watering property prices caused by unchecked foreign investment, increasing poverty and inequality and rapidly rising homelessness and drug addiction.

I doubt in a year's time, there is of course the mega freebie stimulus the US is about to inject into its economy which means in the short term the USD could keep falling. That is imminent. The last time the US injected a big cash give away the USD took a tumble. That would mean in the short term Gold USD is good bet. It just broke the 2000 sound barrier and if the US publishes its stimulus package most likely the Dollar will keep falling, so gold will go up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
