    As of today, according to xe.com, these are the current rates for AU$1...

    - US$ - 0.7531 (down 2 cents since April)
    - GB£ - 0.5669 (up 2 pence since April)
    - JP¥ - 77.265 (way down, by 8 yen since April)
    - EU€ - 0.6766 (down 1 cent since April)
    - NZ$ - 1.0458 (way down, by 6 cents since April)

    (bank and paypal rates are 2-3% less than the figures above)


    June 24th (Brexit) had more of an impact on our rates with Japan than the UK, with the AU$ losing 8 yen in just one day - losing almost 10% at the same time as gaining almost 10% against the Pound.

    Aussie dollar steadily rising against the US dollar over the past month or so. Hit US $0.77 today.

    I saved $7 just paying today vs last month as it was a good recover against jpy for a long time.

    The GB Pound continues to be the big mover, losing even more value since the Brexit... while the other currencies seem to be staying pretty flat, just moving one or two AU cents up and down in the last three months.

    As of today, according to xe.com, these are the current rates for AU$1...

    - US$ - 0.7618 (up slightly since July)
    - GB£ - 0.6249 (up a big 6 pence since July)
    - JP¥ - 79.368 (up 2 yen since July)
    - EU€ - 0.6943 (up 2 cents since July)
    - NZ$ - 1.0749 (up 3 cents since July)

    (bank and paypal rates are 2-3% less than the figures above)

    So now that those idiot American's have put Trump in charge is the USD expected to get stronger or weaker? I hope it's weaker.

    Why? Both candidates were a lose.

    Anyway, it will get stronger as it's still the safest currency in the world. Stock markets have dived world wide. Doesn't mean much though as the whole thing is driven on feelings. I wouldn't put too much stock (heh) in it right now. They would have crashed anyway.

    Really? I think the AUD also went down and the JPY went up sooo no silver lining just yet.

    According to the financial news app in Windows 10 every stock market across Asia was down after the Trump win started to look likely. We will have to see if Wall Street goes lower than the rest of the world. I'd love to see what happens to the USD if he can really pass a law to make Apple bring all it's manufacturing back to America. I'm really hoping for cheap shopping from America.
