How the euro has moved against major currencies, with short- and long-term trend context.

How to read this page. The euro is the base currency, so e.g. EUR/USD = 1.10 means 1 euro buys 1.10 dollars. A rising line ⇒ euro strengthening. A falling line ⇒ euro weakening. Each section zooms in on a different lens: the latest snapshot, the EUR/USD trend, all currencies side-by-side, then the raw monthly data.

EUR/USD — rate vs. moving averages

Loading...

Reading this chart. The blue spot line is the actual monthly average. The other three lines are rolling averages over 3, 6, and 12 months — smoothers that filter out short-term noise. When spot crosses above the 12-month MA, the euro is strengthening relative to its recent past; when it crosses below, the opposite. Look for the dip near parity (1.00) around September 2022 — that was the first time in 20 years the euro was worth less than a dollar.

Latest reading: spot is 1.1417 vs 12-month MA at 1.1642. All-time low: 0.8532 in Jun 2001. All-time high: 1.577 in Jul 2008.

Multi-currency strength — indexed to 100

Loading...

Reading this chart. Every line starts at 100 in the earliest month of our data. A line at 120 means the euro is now 20% stronger against that currency than at the start of the series; a line at 80 means 20% weaker. This lets you compare currencies that have very different absolute prices (EUR/JPY ≈ 160 vs EUR/USD ≈ 1.10) on the same scale.
