Yea usually the AUD spikes up or down whenever I'm buying or selling a watch internationally, always against me. I wish our peso wasn't so damned volatile.
Maybe its because here in Australia we're in prime nuking range for the North Koreans whereas the British won't be too bothered, they've got other colonies after all. They were just playing with their toys again around the time that spike happened.
Aw c'mon. Just because the UK central bank 'hinted' they might be thinking of raising interest rates. Really?
