mint Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Just feel a bit intrigued by the diverging graphs showing today's sterling-euro and sterling-USD rate and I thought some of you might like to see it as well:http://markets.ft.com/research/Markets/Currencies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh4 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Not sure why you think they are curious Sweet 17. The Euro is weakening. The pound is weakening, but not as much as the Euro - so the pound seems to be strengthening against the euro but falling against the dollor.

mint Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Andy, I knew there had to be a logical explanation!It's just that the graphs looked so eye-catching, going in different directions. Of course the close calibrations of the vertical axis tend to exaggerate the movements.Pacha.....as you know, when I was househunting, I felt that I'd rather have another house than put money into banks. So houses aren't "safe" either but at least I can touch it and see it and use it![:D][;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachapapa Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 True sweet property in france will beat inflation in euro terms.Nearly bought a row of garages in Parthenay at around € 40,000 with a nominal return of around 10%.On the Swiss Franc/ Euro in the last 12 months it has gone from around 0.85 to the euro to around 1.17, although hovering on 1.14 today, an appreciation of about 30%.
