Who is taking bets on a 1,20 rate next month.

We are talking a whopping 40% difference since the lows in 2000 (.8381) In layman’s terms (almost) That means European goods/travel have become 40% more expensive. And.... US goods have become 40% cheaper

Maybe not next month. But after the Fed cuts rates again, I could see 1.25 easily.

I've heard people claim that the catalyst of this was driven by anti-Americanism in currency speculators.

Although no one intentionally loses money in that kind of market for politics, there's a background desire to invest in the currency of the organization that you favor that got the ball rolling in this direction.

Also like 35% since even early last year, as I recall trading euro at like .863something.

Does it mean 40% difference in GDPs comparisons?

Freepmail me when you're ready to place a bet in the futures market. I'd love to be any Freeper's broker.

Risky and not for everyone.

This will mean more American jobs. It means our products are dheeper in Europe and theirs more expensive here. Travel there is more expensive.

Stay home this summer and help our economy. See the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone or Mt. Rushmore instead of France or Germany.
