dick dasterdly Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Sterling/baht was down to 46.1 (SCB TT rate), but has now increased to 48.7. It will be interesting to see whether this changes once the European markets open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see whether this changes once the European markets open. I can only see 46.45 from SCB at the moment - think you may have the wrong column. http://www.scb.co.th/scb_api/index.jsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagnabbit Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Ignore these indicators, all a symptom of speculation and market uncertainties. Just have a cup of tea, it will all be OK.In a couple of days when they realise the sky isn't falling well it is 3 days and the sky isnt falling but the pound still iswanna have another guess? ;-) Barclay, RBS, Easy jet all sunk 30% today. At which point you concider the sky is falling? That is a buying opportunity. I brought Whitbread and Associated British Foods yesterday at great prices. I would like to see another 4-5 days of selling off to grab more bargains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtRock Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) European stock markets are rallying at the start of trading after two days of big falls. In London, the FTSE 100 has jumped by 125 points, or about 2%, to 6,109 – recovering some of yesterday’s losses. Every share has risen, led by builders, who endured the brunt of the Brexit backlash. The French and German stock markets are also up by about 2% this morning, matching the recovery in London. The shakers and bakers have made their money over the last 2 trading days.

Mark123456 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 A British retiree who started living here 10 years ago would have seen (and felt) the direction the currency was headed and would have (or should have) made contingency plans Furthermore, to have made irreversible plans solely on the basis of a pension income is foolish, to say the least. For those that took the second option of having Thb 800k in the bank, presumably they would have a source of income for day to day living as well. If this happens to be the British pension, then a 10% reduction is easy to deal with - just cut back on some items. tell me oh learned guru what direction of GBP/THB you would have felt during the last 7 years GBPTHB.png Whenever somebody starts talking about predicting the direction of currency movements you know they were never a trader, or certainly not a successful one.

Nobody can ever predict the direction of currency movements. But if one is a retiree and relying on pension income to survive, it would only be prudent to monitor and prepare Edited June 28, 2016 by Gweiloman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJP Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Turns out the Chairman of our firm voted Leave. He's worth about £500m. One of our clients (one of Europe's biggest firms) is overjoyed at the result and will be investing much more in the UK due to Brexit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
