To buy or sell euros, dollars or pounds..?

Monday 17th May, 2010, Currency Market comment for today. Buy and sell at the right time.

Trying to choose the best time to buy, or sell, aed, usd, euros , aud or pounds? Let us know what exchange rate you need and we will let you know when it reaches the rate. Use our Rate Watch on the right.

There seems to be no end to the current institutional need to buy US Dollars, and sell Euros and Pounds. This “herd mentality” seems to be growing, rather than abating, as everyone heads for the perceived safety of the USD and Gold. Is this a good time to sell Euros or Pounds in favour of US Dollars? Maybe. The current situation does seem very similar to Autumn 2008 where the USD was bought to the virtual exclusion of any other financial asset.

EUR: USD. The Euro has now dipped below the $1.25 level and seems to be headed towards $1.20. The market is clearly concerned about the Eurozone’s ability to cope with the austerity packages and bail-outs. Combine this with the perceived ability of the US to outperform Europe, despite its fiscal issues. email us to set a rate to sell your euros at.

GBP:USD. Pound sterling has today fallen to around $1.44. This would seem to be following the same pattern as the Euro against the USD. However, The Bank of England may be getting ready to back what they call a “very strong and powerful agreement” between the the new Conservative-Liberal government. Expect some decisive action from the new chancellor in the up-coming “emergency budget”.

GBP:EUR. It would seem that, if the markets are forced to choose between the EURO and the POUND, they prefer to invest in the pound. GBP:EUR is still above 1.15

Use a Currency Dealer for your Business Transfers Overseas

It’s likely that you’ve already used our Currency transfer services for your own personal use.

Maybe you bought, or sold, a property overseas, or you need to regularly transfer money to pay for bills abroad. Some of our clients just use us to occasionally transfer their wages.

However, few are aware that we have busy section to our business that deals entirely with business transfers.

Why use a currency broker, rather than your business bank, to make transfers overseas?

They are all the same reasons that you used us in the first place!

• We offer better exchange rates
• We transfer to most countries for FREE
• We are currency exchange professionals.

Currency exchange is all we do, so we are well positioned to aid your business. We don’t just save you money on costs. We help you to make money by aiding you to manage your business risk better.

How do we help you to manage your business risk when trading overseas?

Fluctuations in local currency can have an impact on your profit. If unfavourable changes in currency levels occur between your decision to commit to a contract, and when you have to pay for it, then your business will lose margin.

There’s a simple remedy. Buy a time option forward currency contract and fix the rates for a reasonable period. This could be for the duration between your tender acceptance and the moment when you may have to pay for goods or services. Your profit margin is then fixed and you can go about your business… what you do best.

We can also help by micro-managing the currency purchases that you make. We don’t charge for this service, it’s what we do all of the time for clients! We can then alert you when the rate has come close, or achieved, to what you desire.

Payroll services for staff overseas.

We have many business clients who now ask us to make the payroll transfers for staff overseas, each month. Some are happy to simply make the payment on a particular date each month, but most prefer us to keep an eye on the rate for them with a one-week window at the end of the month. We then contact our clients as soon as the rate seems to have peaked, so that they can take advantage of the best rates available. This isn’t something a bank offers.

In addition to Free currency transfers, we offer:

• Better exchange rates than the banks
• A dedicated currency dealer
• A Rate Watch service

If you are already using us for your currency exchange, consider how much we could help your business to retain profits in these difficult times.

Please contact your local currency dealer FX-Foreignexchange here to discuss our business services further.

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.

• The British Pound slipped against the euro after weak British housing figures were released while sterling also was at a 2 year low against the American dollar on Tuesday.
• The GB pound has fallen over 15 cents against the US dollar since last month due to the down turn in inflation. Bank of England’s assertion that inflation will fall below target in two years, has raised expectations interest rates may be cut from 5.0 percent before the year is out.

Exchange Your Pounds for Canadian $’s

Money Transfer from the UK to Canada

There are many ways to transfer your money from the UK to Canada. In the past, most people have called their own bank and asked them to change their GB Pounds to Canadian Dollars. Currently, there are so many more cost effective ways to do this.

If you choose to use your bank, it’s likely that they will not necessarily:

1. Grant you the best rate of exchange available at that moment
2. They are likely to charge you a commission
3. They will almost definitely charge a fee for making the money transfer to Canada

If you knew about a way to save on each of the 3 areas, it’s likely you would use it, especially, as the foreign exchange specialists are usually faster than the high street banks as it’s all they do!

Some Expats, or second home buyers, in Canada simply open an account with Barclays bank, as they allow the client to have accounts in Canadian Dollars and GB Pounds.

• The advantage of doing this is you have flexibility to move the money between your accounts when the currency exchange rate suits you.
• The disadvantages are that Barclays don’t have as many branches as Canada’s own local main banks in the cities. And, you are unlikely to get a great rate of exchange each time you switch between accounts.

Foreign exchange specialists, like fx-foreignexchange.com are now the more likely route for a second property buyer, or expat, to use for larger currency transfers from the UK to Canada. They already have an account with Barclays in Canada and the UK.

The advantages of using FX-Foreignexchange to exchange your £’s to Canadian Dollars are:

• The service is safe and swift.
• They generally offer a better rate of exchange (Saving thousands on larger transactions).
• They don’t charge a commission.
• They don’t charge a fee to transfer the money.
• You can also set a rate of exchange that you are prepared to deal at, and FX-Foreignexchange will contact you when the currencies meet that figure so you can buy at the best rate of exchange.

The disadvantage, when compared to a high street bank, is difficult to see as there doesn’t appear to be one!

If you are looking to exchange GB Pounds into Canadian Dollars, call FX-Foreignexchange on +44 (0)1480 458400 for a quote, or simply ask for an explanation on how to save money when transferring abroad.

Or go to the fx-foreignexchange site
