I would just hold out as long as you can the dollar appears to be on the turn the US is in a recession however they wish to word it and the tensions with China will only add fuel to the fire, I wouldn't expect great increases as we are in the same boat but it may creep back from its lows

I remember those 'crazy' days here on the DIBB where there was talk of things bouncing back to better than they were previously. Good times. And here we are 6 years later with a rate that's lower than any point on your graph.

Still, at least the rate hasn't reach parity yet.

Give it time😀

From what I have read in the financial press we could be looking at $1.15 if the BoE fails to raise interest rates by 1/2% on Thursday. Grim indeed

Do you have a link? 1% rise seems unlikely, 2% is extremely unlikely. Everything I’ve seen is pointing to a 0.25%-0.50% rise, with the latter being the favourite.

I think they meant half (1/2) a percent rather then one to two percent.

I wonder if Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan will affect it.
