The winners and losers of "high exchange rates"?

Winners: Those visiting overseas, Importers
Losers: Exporters

The winners and losers of "low exchange rates"

Winners: Tourists coming into Australia, Exports
Losers: Importers

Is this correct? Anyone got any further or more specific responses to this?   ;)

So you are saying...when we have a higher exchange rate, it is cheaper to buy petrol from overseas, therefore lower costs for consumers in Oz?

In theory... We get lower petrol prices, than some countries like england.

However, with this price there is alot of excise tax.

I'd say main winners of low exchange rate - Exporters (more demand for their product)

Losers of lose exchange rate - Imports (production costs great) you could then link it to cosumers who will likely be paying more

Appreciation of AUD:

Winners:

Importers, increased investment from overseas corporations, *supposedly* lower fuel prices [but we all know that petrol corps take it lol], CAD/NFD is will be valued lower in $A [less to convert], boost in tourism, increased value of Australian Commodities [if demoinated in USD].

and the losers is obviously the opposite of that. :)
