Doug Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Bloody TT and its weekend rates! It's currently 38.50 on XE, which should translate to 38.30-38.35 in TT during the week.Do you find the weekend rates have a greater loss from the XE rates all the time than weekday rates?Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Always doesnt matter what currency it is. Exchangers are at risk of news landing over a weekend that could send exchange rates sharply down when the market reopens again so always lower than the normal spread. May be exceptions but will be rare Works both ways though of course 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR007 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 This rise is the result of Sterling advancing against the Dollar. One of the reasons I have to point out time after time in a big FB group on Thailand (and an expat group lol) of whom at least half are unable to grasp their is no direct exchange rate between Sterling/Baht but in fact its the sum of two pairings and movement in either pairing affects the bottom line This forum membership is clearly brighter no question I wonder if its because we're older in the main ?? Mind you "expat" group should be likewise lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new deal looks highly probably but then comes the slight issue of getting it through the commons lol. The Bozo currently has a majority of minus 45 you have to wonder how the hell this will pass if all the opposition votes against (they will) Going to come down I suspect to Labour rebels voting with the Government 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toy Boy Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 The pound was up to 39.20 earlier on XE, just after the agreement was announced. It's since fallen back to 38.80, so 38.70-38.75 at TT, probably due to the DUP playing hardball, or rather refusing to play ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR007 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Interbank closed at 39.34 for the weekend. All down to Super Saturday now in the UK....Popcorn in and hunkered down. If it passes (even allowing for Oliver Letwins delaying tactics) there is zero doubt TT will open in the 40's on Monday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR007 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Just sent over a "half bundle" via Transferwise at 39.29 and will look to "pound cost average" next week if todays vote is passed and Sterling/Baht rises off the back of it. Am well aware that if its defeated Sterling will go the other way unsurprisingly but at least will have locked in that 39.29 anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
