We need to place a large order for bulbs for our solar kits. As you know, we import these bulbs from Japan. I have been watching the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen very carefully. The current exchange rate is $1 to 106.94 yen. However, sources tell me that the exchange rate is expected to be $1 to 115 yen very soon. Do you want me to place the order now or wait until the exchange rate changes?

Please advise how you want me to proceed.
