?SYDNEY, Dec. 23 (Xinhua) -- The Australian dollar has continued its slide as weak industrial metals and continued greenback support.
At the Asian open on Friday, the local unit was trading at 72.02 U.S. cents, down from 72.45 U.S. cents at Thursday's close.
Major currencies were also weaker against the greenback overnight after U.S. Economic activity was upwardly revised to 3.5 percent annualised in the September quarter.
Support in the U.S. dollar and uncertainty around the commodity markets continued to drag the Aussie, which fell to lows of 71.95 U.S. cents in offshore trade under thin holiday volumes, Commonwealth Bank of Australia senior economist Michael Workman said in a note.
"Iron ore prices in particularly have been heavy in recent days, warning of a softer demand outlook next year," Workman said.
Strategists are contend the unit will remain under pressure throughout 2017, eyeing the May 2016 low of 71.45 U.S. cents in the short to medium term, with a longer term target of 69 U.S. cents by March 2018.
"The risk is it happens sooner than that," CBA chief currency strategist Richard Grace told Xinhua.
By 0843 local time (AEDT) the Australian dollar was trading at 72.14 U.S. cents.
In most of the world you will need some bargaining tips. Whether you are planning to buy souvenirs or treasure on your vacation Authentic Sidney Jones Jersey , in much of the world, the price tag is only the starting point for bargaining. Haggling and arguing over the price is expected and in many counties it is almost an art form.
First of all, you need to determine if bargaining is appropriate. In most big department stores in Europe and America it usually isn't. In other counties, you might ask if the price is firm. In street markets and small shops in most of the world Authentic Derek Barnett Jersey , you'd be silly if you took the first price you were quoted.
Next let me say that no matter what bargaining tips we give you, or anyone else gives you, you are not going to win this game. You are going to get the price down to a level you are happy with, and you are going to be pleased with it Authentic Dallas Goedert Jersey , but trust me, the merchant is going to make a profit or they won't be selling.
If you do not want to haggle and buy... don't ask the price just for curiosity. If you are interested in buying, see if you can determine what the locals pay. There will almost always be a double standard... with tourists paying way more even after haggling.
Think.... do you really want this piece. And if you do... what is it worth to you.
Once you've made the decision to bargain, be respectful and polite. We've heard people make disparaging remarks about the item they want to purchase. We just don't think that's a successful bargaining tip.
Think about the asking price Isaac Seumalo Jersey , and indicate it is too much. Don't be embarrassed about counter offering too low a price... it's part of the game. We usually offer between a third to a half of the asking price. The merchant will laugh at you, but the game has begun.
You can have a friend or your spouse indicate that they don't want to buy or that they're worried about your budget. This might move negotiations faster, but believe me... these merchants have seen all of those tricks, and they know just how to play it.
Don't hurry if you're serious about buying. Get to know the merchant and let him tell you about the item. Think carefully before you name each price. If the merchant says OK to a price Jordan Hicks Jersey , you must buy the item. This may seem like a game, but it is serious, and your honor is at stake... once a price has been accepted, you can't say Nelson Agholor Jersey , "Never mind, I was just fooling around."
If you get down to your best price, and they say no.... just walk away. Often they will finally meet your price rather than lose the sale. If they don't run after you or call out one last price, they really won't sell for that price.
Sometimes prices will fall further at the end of the day Mack Hollins Jersey , but the price can only drop so much... the merchants will always need to make at least a little profit... that's only fair.
Our final bargaining tip is to bargain thoughtfully. Dickering over a price can be fun, some people even think of it as sport.... but we don't think you should take it too far. In poor and developing counties, a few dollars will mean far more to the merchant and his family than it will to you.
