Another Round of Price Increases ?

Well when the pound got better 1.32-33 you didnt see prices drop at all infact they kept getting higher (excuses about supply and demand).

So i think if we go sub 1.30 again we will see prices jump again but mostly it just seems like a money grab scheme atm especially asus and there 9% extra price hike. (on top of the price change)

Not true the super Pailt Jetstream 1080 has dropped £38 and is now £20 cheaper than when I bought it 5 weeks ago (although still £10 more than launch price)

Only things like strix oc are silly as they dont want you to preorder anymore with such a backlog.

Glad to see someone keeps a more truthful eye on our price movements and also post about the good and not just the bad. :)

Our 1070 pricing is extremely good as well, KFA2 blower is only £359.99 :)

Next big round will be when Article 50 is invoked - then proper Brexit starts: 1.20 for USD or less.

It'll be long before that. Economic data as it trickles in is going to get ever grimmer.

Consumers don't want to spend anything, and even if Hammond brings forward the Autumn Statement by a couple of months, hands out a bunch of investment related tax credits and cuts corporation tax to 15%, firms are still going to keep their hands in their pockets.

The rate cut is foolish. It'll have almost no effect whatsoever in increasing the money supply or lubricating the economy. In fact, with it causing the already very weak £ to fall further, it might have the opposite effect.

IMO, moderate drop in GDP in Q3, large one in Q4, and practically free fall in Q1 '17.

The £ has a long way to fall vs the $ ... the only surprise since the referendum has been how robust it's been. Think the markets are still in denial.

£ has dropped much more quickly of late vs the €, yet a major financial crisis looms in Italy and in Germany both Commerzbank and DB look to have very shaky balance sheets.

Withheld rate increases in the US seemed to be capping losses, but now that there's been a rate cut in the UK, the bottom SHOULD fall out of the £.
 
P.S. Only thing I think that's likely to get people spending and give the economy a kick up the backside (avoiding imminent disaster), is to tear up any notions of fiscal prudence and cut VAT to somewhere near the minimum allowable level temporarily. 15-16%.
 
Pound drops by 3p and prices go up by £50+...

Same with oil. Petrol prices should be going down, despite the drop in the pound (oil has dropped more). But it's either creeping up or not moving :/

Petrol prices have dropped, but much of the fall in crude has been mitigated by falls in the £, and falls at retail would never be proportional as cost of oil, refining and transport only makes up about 35% of the price.

The cheapest has been the preorder kfa2 @ 600 pounds for the past two weeks or more?

So while i have no problem saying at the time i posted i was infact incorrect that the prices had not changed i would also say it was a very recent change and is the first time in along time we have seen sub 600 pound 1080 (1p does not count).

I could also post info showing the pretty hilarious exchange rate to price change that that gpu has been doing but i wont ;)
