If the elections here had not been so damned orderly the Pound should have been mid 70`s..
The Peso is now set to get even stronger they say.

With a stable government the £££ should rally, may even be back up to £/$-1.7 by Xmas

But we haven't got a stable government, just two clowns acting childish, the markets are already falling Clegg & Cameron

It's more stable than the last 'Lets try and overthrow Brown AGAIN!!!' government... .... The £/$ effect is down to Greece at the moment, nothing else. The EU has to stabilize for the Euro/GBP to improve.

And still it drops... 65.64

the pound is in freefall,affected by the markets and the Euro, the peso to get stronger

[johncar54]

Get stronger get weaker, Its all relative. If one gets more to the pound it maybe the pound has strengthened or the other currency has weakened.

Just words really. Its a subjective test.

Quote:- the pound is in free-fall

Well not for those who live in Euro Land. Its almost 1.18 to the pound today, lot better than for many months.

But as we send money to Phil, the pound and the Euro are down on that exchange rate.

Friday seen a massive sell-off of stocks and certain currencies, Monday will likely see them rise again.
