Exchange rate9 Aug 2025 09:35
As Bamps has said, currency fluctuations are now, for us UK holders, an even more important factor in deciding our sp.
The listing on the ASX has meant we are now having to pay far more serious attention to the £ to Aus$ exchange rate, than before.
In October 2002, the Aus$ was 2.83 to the £. At Friday's close on the ASX of $5.15, this would make the £ sp = £1.82
In March 2013, the Aus$ was 1.45 to the £. At Friday's close on the ASX of $5.15, this would make the £ sp = £3.55
I appreciate this is a simplistic example; but the simple £/Aus$ exchange rate is worth keeping an eye on, imo.
