How to read a currency pair
The first currency is the base, the second the quote: EUR/USD at 1.1337 means 1 euro costs 1.1337 US dollars. When the rate rises, the base currency has strengthened. Change is measured against the previous close; for most pairs a pip is 0.0001, for yen-quoted pairs 0.01 (not shown for pairs without a standard convention).
Market hours and data freshness
Spot Forex trades around the clock from Sunday 17:00 to Friday 17:00 New York time, so rates do not change over the weekend — a Friday quote on Saturday is expected, not stale. Rates shown here are the European Central Bank’s daily euro reference rates (published once per working day around 16:00 CET), with non-euro pairs calculated from them — reference rates, not live trading quotes. See methodology and data sources.
