I import and am liking 1.05 but I agree 1.40-1.50 would be not good for our exports. It kind of goes in circles..if our exports (coal steel etc) is more expensive then the companies that use that "stuff"have to put their prices up anyway, so the importer's price is higher (in US$)
I have seen this with my stuff. I import flyscreen mesh and the price of the raw materials has gone up so my $US price has gone up 10% over the last 6 months.
