The average for all its highs and lows for 2016 was $1.3346. today it's at $1.3735. not a lot of big changes really
Here is the 10 year euro to £ graph showing we are not far off a 10 year average - and similar to 2009 to 2014
Big Brother. It doesn't matter what I look at online. Most sites that use ads have adverts for these very same products the next time I use them. I bet we don't know the half of it. You've obviously been perusing Bonhams site then.
I think he only notices currencies in groats. I saw the xe link but thought I'd offer Tesco but let me show you something, in 2008 at the beginning of the year the pound vs dollar was £1.9793, by the end of the year it was £1.5848 a 40 pence drop Beginning of 2009 it was £1.4502 and at the end £1.6627 and for the next few years it trundled along at early 1.60's/ highish £1.50's 26th feb 2016 it went to £1.3862. On brexit vote day the 23rd of June, speculators were so sure we would stay in that the market overseas valued the pound at 11pm at £1.4798, the next morning when the vote was clear it dropped to £1.3621, an 11 pence drop, with a forecast we would soon be on a 1 for 1 with the dollar, 18 months later we are at 1.36/37 depending on what time you looked today. Despite being claimed brexit dropped our currency, the day after the vote it was only 2 pence down from where it was 4 months earlier. Under the last labour government we had a 40 pence drop, under brexit we have had a 11 pence drop, which one do you think was worse by actual figures and would you say today's media matches those facts? The pound was always over valued at 1.40 plus and many markets saw a bubble building due to debt and it's natural level is within the 1.30's. Were I to bore you further I could probably show you where the pound went down and up based on nothing to do with brexit but rest of the world events.
