euro?
 
Does anyone know how the dollar is doing against the euro this summer, compared to last summer?

Currently $1 = 1.19€

It will either be stronger or weaker.

Check this website (it's a universal currency converter, using live mid-market rates)

I believe the rates shown by Universal Currency Converter may be the so-called &quot;interbank rates&quot; (that banks get when <b> they </b> buy and sell currency) which are a little better than what you'll actually see, but nevertheless a good indicator.

isabel you're wrong, the dollar is weaker so it's the contrary 1&euro; =1.19$

Hi M,

The euro closed at $1.197 yesterday.

It is down from last Summer.

There s no guarantee that it will not rise by the time you go to Europe. :)

And there is no guarantee that it will not fall.

logos999...do you work for the government? LOL

Christina Jul 9th, 2005 06:15 PM

The dollar is not weaker, it is stronger (or the Euro is weaker, however you wish to look at it) ... however, Isabel did have the signs reversed. and 1 euro costs about $1.19

1.21 and rising. Yeah Go Euro Go!

logos999 Jul 12th, 2005 07:30 AM

Sorry, thats 1.22 :-) :-)

jabez Jul 12th, 2005 09:11 AM

The dollar has lost 2.7% since July 5. This is a huge drop for such a short period.
A lot of this is on anticipation of poor US trade numbers tomorrow.
The good news (unless something out of the ordinary happens) is the $1.22 number is considered the &quot;technical support&quot; number. It seems (with no guarantees) that the 1.22 or better figure is logical at this time.
All that to say that I agree with logos999.
