The Australian Dollar fell to a 6 year low US$70.37 as stock markets around the world have lost billions of dollars over the last 24 hours. This was first time the Aussie had traded below US$72c since the GFC back in 2009.
As well as Australia, markets in The USA, UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain plummeted after China’s Shanghai Composite Index lost 8.5% yesterday – the country’s largest loss in eight years.
Equities around the world have seen more than $5 trillion wiped from their value since China opted to devalue its Yuan currency two weeks ago.
What does this mean for you and your clients?
When the Australian Dollar weakens against a specific currency such as GBP, EUR or USD for example, said clients transferring money to Australia from the likes of the UK, Ireland, Italy or America can receive far more favorable returns with their currency exchange into Australian Dollar.
When moving lump sums this can equate to thousands of Dollars extra for your clients.
