  2. Interpreting Forex Figures • USD/JPY; USD/CHF; USD/CAD • Yen per dollar, Swiss franc per dollar, Canadian dollars per dollar • High figure = strengthening U.S. dollar, weakening foreign currency • Dollar strengthened to 95 yen from 94.5 yen. • Dollar can buy more yen; yen can buy fewer dollars.

  3. Interpreting Forex Figures • EUR/USD; GBP/USD; AUD/USD; NZD/USD • US$ per euro; US$ per pound; US$ per Aussie $; US$ per Kiwi $ • Higher figure = weakening US dollar • Dollar weakened from 1.44 pounds to 1.45 pounds. • Pound can buy more dollars; dollar can buy fewer pounds.

  4. “Cross Rates” • Comparing currencies other than US$ • EUR/JPY = yen per euro • Higher figure = stronger euro, weaker yen • Lower figure = weaker euro, stronger yen • Pound strengthened to 120.72 yen from 120.11 yen a day earlier. • Pound can buy more yen; yen can buy fewer pounds.

  5. The Yuan • USD/yuan = yuan per US dollar • Higher figure = stronger dollar, weaker yuan • Dollar weakened marginally to 6.8358 yuan from 6.8367 a day earlier • Dollar can buy a little less yuan

  6. The rule • If USD is on the left side, higher number equals stronger dollar • Means other currency per dollar • If USD is on the right side, lower number equals stronger dollar • Means dollars per other currency • Why so confusing? Maybe so the pros have an edge?!
