Currencies: Live Major Pairs, a Full Rate Table and a Converter on ECB Reference Rates
The major currency pairs live from the tape, the full table of cross rates, the dollar index, and a converter built on the European Central Bank's daily reference rates.
The currencies page carries the major pairs live, euro, yen, sterling, the Swiss franc, the Canadian, Australian and New Zealand dollars against the dollar and the main crosses, with the day's move and a sparkline, and the dollar index beside them. Each pair opens a symbol page with its chart on any timeframe.
A full rate table gives every cross between the currencies the European Central Bank publishes reference rates for, and a converter built on the same rates turns any amount from one currency into another, which is the reference most contracts and accounts use rather than the tick-by-tick price.
Eleven currency pairs and the dollar index have notebooks of their own, where the releases and market checks that move each one are weighed every minute into a verdict and a strength gauge.
