The Rise & Fall of the Euro

[Roy Hersh]

A mighty fall in five days, wow! .... 1.35891.

[Roy Hersh]

Between my last post and now the Euro had increased back up to 1.37+ but had now returned to 1.35381 as of this moment.

Or the easier way to check the history:

1.38930 ... I would have bet that with Ukraine and threat of oil tightening by Russia, and uncertainties around the EU, we'd have seen some weaking of the Euro. In fact, just the opposite has taken place over the past couple of weeks. Odd.

Temporary increase?

[Brian C.]

FXE chart looks bullish here. EU policy is tighter right now, and we have been looser with ours. Whoever is right or wrong, that is why the euro is rising against the dollar.

WSJ had an interesting article yesterday on deflation in Portugal. http://m.us.wsj.com/articles/in-portuga ... 4?mobile=y

Yes, we have ... for the homepage of the site, not in the Forum.

Today = 1.36578

[Al B.]

Let me get this right - the bigger the number the more dollars you have to spend to buy a bottle of port. Is that right?

[Julian D. A. Wiseman]

There is a machine-readable data source at www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/exchange/eurofxref/html/index.en.html#downloads, for those who care.

[Roy Hersh]

Alex,

That is correct, as the valuation of the Euro increases vs. the dollar (or GBP for that matter), we definitely pay more for Port.

Personally, I hedge my bets by buying Euros when they go below 1.30 and load the boat when the hit 1.25.

[Roy Hersh]

Thank you Julian, good to see that.

The Euro has stabilized in recent months between 1.35 and 1.365 for quite awhile now.

[Roy Hersh]

Finally some movement = 1.34315

[Roy Hersh]

Time to buy?
