Yen Exchange Rate Watch

[Telur17]

dunno leh. but usually mustafa's rate is one of the better ones. comparable to the arcade or chinatown.

maybe they dun wan to reduce so fast, in case the rate go up again (touch wood ). usually when there is a lot of fluctuation, the moneychangers will be slow to adjust, and there will be a big gap between the buy and sell rate. once the rates stabilize, then they adjust and narrow the gap.

really? i normally change at the chinese $changer at chinatown. compared rates a few time and they seemed to give better rates than arcade.

ohh, thanks! u work near arcade?

nope. on my way to NUS. haha, long daily commute.

@evilerniex.

another possibility is that the money changers got alot of stock of yen at the high prices, so they not willing to cut down / follow big market fluctuations. but rather, allow the yen to drop slowly and slightly so their losses wont be that bad, can average out their cost.

I just changed $1000 at the Arcade. The lowest rate I could find was 15.90.

I need to change more, so basically I'm just hoping the yen would drop further (the signs are there).

Sure, it's the one near the corner furthest from the escalator (2nd floor). I didn't note the name of the shop.

But I'd suggest asking your friend to check all the other money changers - they're all in the same row it's quite fast to hit them all and check or ask their rates.

Yup! Even though I've already changed $1000, it'd be really great if it dropped further. Let's hope that yen gets sold down further on their gloomy economy!

yes, that one. previously checked there for thai baht and taiwanese $ n they gave me best rate then.

tt chinatown one is good too, but i prefer to go arcade. coz got more shops there, and all using electronic board, so it is easier to compare. rate wise, i think quite similar lah
