Euro rate
« on: January 20, 2014, 01:53:05 PM »
The pound is very strong against the Euro at the moment. Probably worth buying.

Today (Jan 20 2013) TravelFX.co.uk is selling at 1.1930, which is the highest it's been for a very long time.

Post office is 1.186 (online). TravelFX remains probably the best rate in the UK at least.

I'll post here again if it goes up, which I doubt!

Sterling has certainly started the year well, and the Euro is on the back foot a bit.

The Bank of England might be the first major central bank to raise interest rates, which would continue to strengthen the Pound.

I predict Jimbo will be posting again, so hold your water!

At the ATM today in Sidari (as the Avliotes ones has been taken away and over winter months none in San Stefanos) the rate on a would you like to convert before taking was still 1.13 so if you press no then on my Internet banking statement it shows 1.16 less UK bank charges...just for info if you are taking money out once here.......

TravelFX rate is up a tiny amount at 1.1936 today (21-1- 2013)

Not a huge amount, but every little helps!

It's going up all the time. 1.2027 at the moment on TravelFX.

I don't think the Bank will raise the interest rates at the moment, so my guess is that it will stabilize at this level for a while.

It just means that an 8 Euro special costs £6.65

I agree that the banks won't be raising the interest rates, yet.

I also predict that the 7% unemployment target that was set before the BOE start increasing interest rates will be lowered to 6.5%. This will further strengthen the GBP steadily over the coming months and €1.22 will be available come summer time.

Yes - Good time to buy Euros. Been as low as 1.17 over the last week or so.

Every little Mythos helps.

I doubt if it will go much above 1.2

It's already dropping slightly.
