Buying or selling Euros? Make a move

Wednesday 19th May, 2010, Global Currency Exchange market comment

Buying, or selling, euros?

EURO to USD / AED: The Euro slid again yesterday against the US Dollar, dropping to below $1.22. This had a great deal to do with Germany’s announcementthat they wish to ban “short selling” of shares and euro government bonds among its 10 most important financial institutions. This was the lowest figure against the dollar since April 2006.

Most people believe the euro has further to slide against the dollar and the aed of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. If you HAVE to sell euros soon, for dollars or aed, then you may want to talk to us about setting a rate, or just buy now!

POUND TO EURO: The pound continues to hold at over 1.15, with some good news coming from the Bank of England. It looks likely that the Bank will maintain interest rates at the current low level. British businesses can take advantage of the situation, with the lowest period of borrowing at this level for some considerable time. This, in turn, will help the economy to recover at a faster rate than Europe.

POUND to US DOLLAR: With some good news coming out of the UK economy, the Pound has slowed it’s decline, but sits at an uncomfortable $1.42. Most economists believe, Sterling will go lower against the USD.

With the currency rates altering as quickly as they are, we suggest you choose from the following:

1. If the rate suits you now, make that exchange. It may go a bit more in your favour, but it’s just as likely to go against you.
2. If the rate doesn’t suit you, contact us here, and let us know what rate you need. We will put you on our “Rate watch” list and contact you as soon as your rate is achieved.

Talk to us about placing just a 10% deposit down, and fixing your currency deal at the best exchange rates today. It could save you thousands.

Is this the time to Buy Pounds and Sell Euros?

Looking to sell, or buy, euros and pounds?

(comment added on 5th July, 2010) This is an old article I wrote in February, 2010. To buy, or sell euros and pounds today, please visit our Foreign Exchange provider here and discuss your foreign exchange requirements with a currency dealer.

Some of you may recall my article on the 27th of January.. “Is this a good time to buy euros with pounds?” Well, it transpires that it was. Now the situation has reversed.

Today, Feb 10th, 2020, The GBP, Pound, has dropped since then against the euro. We had a case, this week, where a customer may not have been able to complete on his house purchase as the exchange rate had dropped so much that there was a shortfall of a few thousand euros on completion day.

This could have been overcome if the client had bought a Forward contract at the better exchange rate that existed on the 27th of January.  If he had done this, he wouldn’t have been short of a few thousand euros on the property completion day.

So,…. Is it a good time to sell euros and buy pounds? Probably. No-one can say for sure, but it would appear that the pound is as weak as the euro, when compared to the US Dollar and the Yen. The eurozone is still dragging the Greek finance problem around and the Pound is still suffering from a wave of poor economic results. So, some would say that the Euro and the Pound have levelled off. Experience shows that this staus quo rarely remains for long.

The easiest way to look at this is; if you need to change your money at some point and you need to achieve a certain amount, then you have these options:

1. Exchange all of your Pounds for euros at today’s rate. This is called a SPOT Contract. It ensures that you fix the rate today and you get your money transferred, to where it needs to be, in good time.
2. Exhange some of your Pounds for Euros and risk the exchange rates going in your favour by the time you need to have the rest of the money changed. This is HEDGING in its simplest form. It does mean you can sleep at night, safe in the knowledge that you’ve made sure you don’t lose too much if the rates don’t go your way.
3. Exchange your Pounds for Euros, at today’s exchange rate with just 10% deposit. Then pay the balance when you need the money in the future. This is called a FORWARD Contract. This is the way that most of my clients are now exchanging their money. By paying just a 10% deposit, our clients can relax, safe in the knowledge that they have the right amount of money for their property purchase.

Of course, this doesn’t just apply to Pounds and Euros. It applies to any tradeable currencies and we can deal in smaller amounts of currency.

Is Now a Good Time to Buy USD, US Dollars?

Buy and Sell USD, Dollars, as the rates are good at the moment.

Ask about our “Buy now - Pay Later” time option forward contract which allows you to put down just 10% deposit, with the balance payable in the future. This fixes the exchange rate now, while the rates are good.

Currency Exchange, Use a Specialist

Use a specialist business to make your currency exchange and save a great deal of money. Using a bank to transfer your money abroad can be a costly, as they tend to charge commission and a transfer charge, whereas most specialist currency exchange companies rarely make these charges.

In addition, a high street bank is likely to give you a worse rate of exchange than a currency broker can.

However, currency exchange brokers differ wildly, both in terms of service and value. Like all service providers, they offer services that are similar, but the differences appear subtle yet make a vast difference to your pocket.

Choose a currency broker that is interested in you, or your business. Most foreign exchange businesses will simply take your instructions to make the currency exchange, then transfer your money to the destination account. You need a currency broker who will take a bit more interest in your needs and will then advise on the best way to maximise the net amount from the exchange.

Here are some of the services that you could take advantage of by choosing a currency dealer carefully:

Regular payments:

If you have to make regular payments overseas such as a pension transfer, or maybe a mortgage payment, or payments to overseas suppliers, business partners, franchise operations for example, you could fix the exchange rate for as much as 2 years ahead. You could then set up the payments so that you can concentrate on other matters. The alternative is to use a dedicated currency exchange dealer, who can pick and choose when would be best for you to change your money. Neither of these services have a charge attached when you use fx-foreignexchange.

Stop loss currency exchange:

A “stop loss” contract lets you decide on a rate that you would be happy to make a currency exchange. We can arrange for the money to be exchanged as soon as a particular rate has been achieved. The money is bought automatically.

We can add to this service by placing your details with an individual dealer. That dealer will then contact you as soon as the agreed rate is achieved and you can then decide whether you wish to make the exchange. To take advantage of this particular service, you need to register with us first though as currency rates can change quickly and it takes a few minutes to register. Registration is free.

Fixed currency exchange rates:

For businesses, or individuals, that have to make a  money transfer overseas sometime within a few months, it is possible to pay a small deposit and fix the rate of exchange, then pay the final balance nearer the time of the actual transfer.

This is great for cashflow and takes the stress out of situation because you will have already fixed the rate of exchange and have ruled out the possibility of losing a great deal of money if the rate becomes unfavourable. For example, just a few months ago, the rate between the US Dollar and the GB Pound was around 2.04 Dollars to 1 Pound. The rate today is about 1.78 Dollars to the Pound. This is fine if you have dollars to sell and pounds to buy, but imagine you wanted to buy 100,000 Pounds worth of Dollars. If you had fixed the rate in advance, you would have bought $204,000. However, at if you hadn´t fixed the rate and went to change the money today, you would have received $178,000.

The difference in the exchange rate would have resulted in a loss of $26,000 !

 
Why take the risk? If you are in business, contact us and we will be pleased to allocate you a specific dealer who will take care of all of your foreign currency transactions.

 Our UK number is : 0044(0)1480 458400, or just go to CONTACT US.

Currency Exchange for Larger Businesses

FX-foreignexchange have a small team of specialist currency dealers, together with a support team, who cater for larger business clients such as trust fund companies, larger conglomerates with separate businesses in different financial zones around the world.

Often, these businesses have a long term arrangement to make regular money transfers. The individuals involved have other tasks to perform within the operation so they regularly go down the line of least resistance. They use their banks! Clearly, if you are a good customer, the bank will offer you a favourable rate but rarely will a bank offer the level of personal service that fx-foreignexchange can offer.

We were recently introduced to a Finance Director who had the task of transferring in the region of 1.4M Euros every month to his European counterparts. He had negotiated the costs with his bank and rang them to negotiate the rate each time he needed to make the transfer, so he felt that he had got the best deal for his business.

We were happy to demonstrate over 3 months that he had saved in the region of 20,000 pounds with a combination of spot rate buying, forward buying and stop-loss orders.

Of course, he didn´t have time to keep an eye on the rates. And, he certainly didn´t get a call from his account manager at the bank every time the rate was favourable. He didn´t even get a daily FX rate update on his email from his bank. He DID get all of that from us.

It retained company profits and made his job easier. If you would like an informal discussion on how we can help your business to retain more profit when dealing overseas, please call us and ask for David Osborne.

Our UK number is :   0044(0)1480 458400  , or just go to CONTACT US.

Emigrating to Australia

Emigrating to Australia on your own steam
The first step in emigrating, is to find out if you are eligible to live in Australia. You can do this by contacting your nearest Australia High commission who will be able to assist. They will send you the relevant information regarding your application process.
You should allow a minimum of 12 months for a successful application to be processed. It is absolutely crucial that any paperwork submitted to Australia House is done so correctly or your application will be returned to you, and you will, unfortunately, have to re apply. Fees will also vary dramatically depending upon the visa category you are applying under. With police checks, medical records, government fees, and more, the cost of the application can sometimes be a considerable expense.
Use an emigration specialist consultancy
A migration agent is like using a lawyer to represent you in court. They will initially give you a free consultation and will let you know straight away if you are eligible for migration. If you are, they will begin to advise on the fees and time limits involved. They will then advise you of all relevant forms, references and documents that you will need to obtain for them to submit the application on your behalf.
If you choose to use an agent your migration process can be a lot quicker. In some cases, they may even save you money as you can be certain that your application will be submitted correctly the first time. It certainly will take a lot of unnecessary stress away from the migration process. For that reason alone, we would strongly recommend to anyone who is considering emigrating, to use a Migration Agent.
Buying your Australian Dollars.
Whether you are buying your Australian Dollars with British Pounds, American Dollars, Euros or any other foreign currency, it pays to shop around.
The standard route, involved beating a path loyally to your local bank and asking them to make the money transfer on your behalf to Australia. This generally involves a few costs that you won’t have to bear elsewhere. You are likely to be charged extra for making the currency transfer, and for your Australian bank to receive the funds. In addition, a high street bank doesn’t necessarily give the best foreign exchange rate which is the biggest difference between the bank and a foreign currency exchange specialist.
Consider this:
Your bank offers you a rate of 2.10 Australian Dollars to £1. You buy £150,000 worth at that rate, believing that it’s the same everywhere and you end up with 315,000 Australian Dollars, before they have taken their commission!
OR, you use a global currency exchange specialist and they give you a better rate of 2.1549 Australian Dollars (as it is today) to £1, giving you net proceeds of 323,235 Australian Dollars for your £150,000.
Net result, you have saved yourself £3,821 ( or 8235 dollars) to spend on something else when you get to Australia like a second hand car, tax and insurance! No effort was required. It didn’t take any longer. You just end up with more money.
