It will fall a bit more, the rally.
We are expecting it to stop at around $2 = £1, or perhaps $2.05 or so.

Then, it will depend upon the next round of US figures, and unless they are good, further falls can be expected.

Some major organisations are cutting back on the volume of US$ they hold, and that wont help its value.

Gold price is up, way up, which is the sign of massive buying. Gold has always been the refuge when a currency is uncertain.

It was down to 38=$1 awhile back and then came back up to 41 again, I don't ever look to see 45=$1 again, but don't think it will drop below the low 38s. and as american products sell more on the world market I look for an increase in dollar power.
But the days of cream and honey are definately gone for america.

There could be a fairly long period of a weak dollar as the US current account deficit shows little signs of reversing its trend.

There is a book shop specialised in Gambling books just of the strip in Las Vegas they have it there. Not sure about the name but I think it is something like the "books of gambling"
