What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

Flashback that is just to annoy all of us in Australia seeing there are very few ways to get to London at the moment.

Qatar is still running I guess and with no isolation requirements on arrival here it's one of the few places you could visit though, although I understand Australia now has outbound restrictions too!

Yes Qatar is still running but no access to Qatar itself, only transit is permitted by Qataris and some transit times are very lengthy. A bit academic for most people though as those with an Aussie passport are not permitted to travel (ex AU) unless in a very very small specific special exemption group.

Yes we used Qatar to hightail it out of London and it was really good seeing we were the only two in the first class cabin. I did feel sad for the Qatari pilot who went to PERTH for a holiday. He was refused entry into Qatar and was returned to Perth.
I am hoping the AUD keeps recovering seeing we have a large trade surplus.

e.g. me!

I am pondering a change of scenery, even if only for a few weeks.
 
Ouch that would not work for me either Flashback. Have been running up future Kris Miles in a bank warehouse in the hopeful expectation that SQ get restarted.

Not when the number of miles required is only marginally less than J, very bad value indeed.
 
It was 115,000 to go London to Doha in J and First from Doha to PERTH. That was March and I think a lot has changed with so many airlines pulling out.
Coming down to Rottnest for two weeks isolation would be a No for me.
Hoping to get some US dollars at 0.68 but it is quiet tonight so far.

Sydney/Melbourne residents will collectively realize that paying 1.5 million for a weatherboard crackshack was quite absurd. The RBA will cut rates as Australian financial stability is pretty much synonymous with keeping housing asset valuations as high as possible. "Time in the market not timing the market!" Will become the meme narrative of 2019 as passive investors who bought the top try to reassure themselves that they totally didn't **** up. Warren Buffett quotes will also be in high demand. AUD will become known as the 'Bogan Bolivar'.

Is this your post (2nd one down) on another site?
 
I managed to pick up some euros at 0.6 so I'm happy for the next 4-8wks
