Chivas Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Today is interest rate decision in the UK and the recent rise in Sterling/Baht up to 44.50 is down to the city traders wholly expecting another 0.25% or 0.5% base points rise here in London Now whilst never set in stone the "buy the rumour sell the news" scenario which will almost certainly come into play tomorrow with a slight dip in the exchange rate Inotherwards if you're happy with 44.50 and who wouldnt be in recent times take the money today ! Course if it bucks the trend and goes to 45 then pound cost average on an exchange and be happy with the 44.75 !! Win win Lose lose if you do nothing and it drops back into the 43's 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was being a bit tongue in cheek but couldn't find the emoji. Having said that it was 75 before I got here and yes @freedomnow those were indeed the days for all the best reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you know why the rate is getting better? It is because the baht is falling against all currencies today. The weatherman in the OP has previously posted many times, even ridiculed members for it, that there is no direct exchange rate between pound and Thai baht. Here you can see that the pound is actually getting weaker today Edited June 22, 2023 by BenStark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chivas Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 Sterling certainly held up well since announcement of that rise 44.73 at time of post but heavily aided by weakening of the Baht against the Greenback on opposite side of the pairings right out to 35.22 currently We'll happily take it it I'm sure nonetheless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the pound has since the interest decision decreased in value I know most people have you already on ignore, so be glad there is still someone replying to your posts, although it is only to point out that you have not the slightest idea about currency trading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
