Comics
Along to Chris2 (she's a banker and credit representative so I quite trust her ) 1 Euro will be 1,1 USD soon, so when you want to buy something overseas it's better to do it now...
I personally REALLY hope that she's wrong, since I buy all my comics in the US

Re: Comics
I won't worry about the euro falling to that level anytime soon. It is in the US' interests to keep the USD lower than the EUR due to its large current account deficits. That's the same reason the USD has been falling against the JPY, as are most other major currencies. The EUR's weakening has a lot to do with negative economic growth, and while the general concensus is that it will continue falling (as well the GBP and CHF) against the USD, it is impossible to tell what spot rate it will settle at -- too much depends on monetary policy announcements.equi-nox76 wrote:Along to Chris2 (she's a banker and credit representative so I quite trust her ) 1 Euro will be 1,1 USD soon, so when you want to buy something overseas it's better to do it now...

A small tip: Whatever the trend is with the sterling currency pair, expect it to happen for the EUR as well.
On the bright side, oil prices will decrease with the rising USD, and inflation woes should subside.

Following the problems in the sub-prime lending market in America and the run on Northern Rock in the UK, uncertainty has now hit Japan.
In the last 7 days Origami Bank has folded, Sumo Bank has gone belly up and Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut some of its branches.
Yesterday, it was announced that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will likely go for a song while today shares in Kamikaze Bank were suspended after they nose-dived.
While Samurai Bank are soldiering on following sharp cutbacks, Ninja Bank are reported to have taken a hit, but they remain in the black.
Furthermore, 500 staff at Karate Bank got the chop and analysts report that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank where it is feared that staff may get a raw deal.

USD
I recently did not buy a nice mint set because of the exchange rate-
First thought: oh that is a good price , second thought (after realizing that the exchange rate is not 1,6 anymore): forget it
He did not sell the set with "buy it now" even for this fantastic USD-price, because usually they get sold to European buyers LOL
I wrote to the seller that I will buy as soon as the Dollar is down again :-)

It's not THAT bad yet! It's exactly the other way around : 1 Euro = 1.29 Dollars, although today, it's actually 1 Euro = 1.28 Dollars (1 USD = € 0,78)mwagee wrote:ugh
1USD : 1.29 Euros today
