RBA meeting and the AUDUSD

With the RBA meeting next week, what does everyone think will happen to AUDUSD if the cash rate:

A) Remains the same
B) Increases by .25
C) Increases by .50

I am a undecided whether the Aussie will be weaker or stronger if the RBA decide to rise rates by 0.25. What are your thoughts...

My answers are:
A) Aussie will weaken
B) Undecided...
C) Aussie will appreciate
 
I would expect it to go up .25 especially after the recent US economy lift. The dollar will probably rise a bit more too.

What I would like is a bit different, I would love it if the interest rate dropped and the AU dollar fell sharply back to the mid 60's ;)
 
who cares much about the AUD/USD ex.rate.... that 6.44% for 4 years fixed rate im on is looking bloody tops at the moment!!

there are other means to make money then just property - you can make alot of money with fx trading if the RBA releases an unexpected rate rise

leveridge is 200:1 :eek:
 
i actaully work in the importing business - so the high ex.rate makes my job a LOT easier.... but for me personally, it only matters when im travelling or looking at buying something from another country.

It's more just from a PERSONAL perspective that i said what i did above :)
 
AUD up and down in cycles just the way I like. When its up move my money off shore and when it drops bring it back again for a nice little profit.
 
I do and so do other exporters, the travel industry and many others.... I would just like to see it around .70/100 and it would be ok, .90/100 is too high.

The WA state govt would rather see it closer to .7 than .9 too. It is seriously impacting on state mining royalties.

State tax increases anyone?
