Aussie dollar hits parity with Greenback

[tiger101]

I wouldnt worry about jumping on the US dollar to fast at the moment. Alot of things can happen this year that will keep pushing our dollar up on it plus theres no real reason for our dollar to drop fast against it.

what was that you were saying?

dollar nearly hit 1.03 now ur lucky to get 98 cents. big drop of 5% with further expected due to the floods

obviously I couldnt predict massive floods that will cut exports and GDP. But long-term im still bullish on the dollar

The Aussie dollar is pushing up again. It's now hanging around just below the $1.03 US mark. Some experts are saying it could hit $1.05.

In mid-afternoon trading today, the local unit hit 106.05 US cents, its highest level since it was floated in December 1983

Today's record adds to a series of recent, record-setting peaks which have kept the Australian dollar consistently trading well above parity, with some analysts predicting it could go as high as 110 US cents by the end of the year.

Agree daniel, though I would expect that the RBA will hold off on interest rates next week and watch what happens with costs over the next month or 2.

The experts are saying that food prices that have gone up because of the Qld flods & cyclone Yasi are likely to stabilise or perhaps drop back to "normal" levels

Be interesting to see what Bernanke says in his speech tonight. Surely he'll have to try and word something to give off confidence and slow the USD falling.
