i need some us dollars next year early on, looking at the pounds strength at the moment against the usd is is now loking like a good time to swap the cash ? or is it going to get even stronger ?

they reckon its on a 26 year high at the moment !

 

IMO it will not change much any time soon, with US housing market etc in tatters and another interest rate rise expected here soon i dont think it will change soon especially in negative effect for you. Though by next year it’s hard to say. I would wait until next interest rate rise then possible do it

Though these things are notoriously hard to predict, especially 6-7 months time.

 

Even if you pay on c.card they are charging 1.96 or thereabouts (or was last week!). Managed to get mine 3 months ago at 1.9715 from a friend at Goldmans! Not sure what the market rate is now.
