At the biginning of the week, I saw the dollar rise a bit compared with the Euro, but toady I saw the dollar fall pretty fast from $1.43 to over $1.46. Will this fall continue?

I bought a very nice watch today in the US.

Price including shipping: $189.-
Rate: €1.- = $1,42464
Paid: €.

I now hope the customs are a bit nice to me, as they usually add another €40.- for these kind of purchases (  €25.- tax and €17 for handing it over to the customs).

I checked my currency app and saw the Euro was above the $1,44. I saw this article on my news app. The high rate is the result of higher intrest rates in Europe and some unsure financial problems in the US.

 

Wednessday, April 6th, 2011.

Euro/Dollar rate now over 1.43.
Euro/Yen rate now over 120
It's time to look for something nice in Dollars or Yen now.
