Major currencies against the US dollar

How the numbers are made
- Source: European Central Bank, euro foreign exchange reference rates. Reference rates: units of each currency per euro, set around 14:10 CET on every TARGET working day by a concertation between central banks and published around 16:00 CET, “for information purposes only” (not the price of any trade).
- Against the dollar: rates per dollar are cross rates computed from two ECB rates of the same day (yen per euro ÷ dollars per euro = yen per dollar).
- The ruble: the Bank of Russia's official rates; the ECB suspended its own ruble rate after 1 March 2022.
- Changes: the latest rate against the rate in effect on the same date a year and five years earlier, and on 4 January 1999, the euro's first day (or on the first day the ECB published a rate for that currency).
- Our calculations: cross rates, changes, averages, highs and lows and the candles are calculated by BigCapital from the ECB's published rates (the ECB's terms ask that such calculations be stated).
- No inflation adjustment: a real exchange rate needs the price levels of both countries, so these pages show the rates as published.
- Updates: every night. The ECB publishes on working days around 16:00 CET; the Bank of Russia sets the ruble rate on its working days for the next day.
- Not investment advice. Past exchange rates do not tell where a currency goes next.
