    Well the dollar's gone down

    Whats that mean for us then folks,personally it means that any bike bits from the states are going to require more saving for and i guess things in general will rise in price.There predicting petrol to get more expensive..bit annoying when it didnt come down with the high dollar Helen and her cronies will say "it was all in the plan".

    yeah ur right with the dollar down its better for exporters but the trade off is that imports become more expencive..this was due to the change in the ocr do decreace inflation but interest rates havent changed sooooooooo its overseas investors buying bonds.. in simple tearms its gonna be more expencive to buy imported goods but if ur exporting kiwifruit its good.. petrol prices should of become cheaper due to the high dollar but im not too sure the reason for that probably some gready capitialist

    I assume we're talking about the NZ - US cross here?
    It's still 10c higher than a year ago, so what are you whinging about?
