ROB T Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) Don't worry I checked my Forex app earlier today and mine said something similar. If there was a 'Ukraine problem' then the exchange rate would have gone the other way and in your favour. The issue will be a technical IT blip I would imagine as markets are now shut across the world and trading will not reopen until Monday morning. Exchange rates do not fluctuate in that manner.

Anyone know the reasons why....Is it the Russia/ Ukraine problem ????? No I think your app is wrong. Exchange rates do not move like that, not unless there was a sudden major world issue taking place, which there is not. On XE.com it has been entirely stable.

aligard Posted May 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Yes, could well be right ....looked at a Perth news site also and they had the same rate drop too, hence why I asked the question. And don't worry Rob....I never fret m8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest curtis1972 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 You made me panic as our children are about to transfer some money - just checked with our broker (SAT Worldwide) and rate is 1.80 this morning ADMIN Note: We would remind business's that under Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations Act. 2008.
