The rate is quoted per US dollar
A USD/CNY reference rate of 7.30 means 1 USD corresponds to 7.30 CNY. Divide a CNY invoice by that rate to get a USD baseline before payment costs.
Compare the sources carefully
Both euro series are converted from USD per EUR to EUR per USD. The Fed and ECB use different methods and observation times, so a difference between the two is not an executable spread between providers.
- Historical snapshot: seven published business-day observations from 2 to 10 January 2025. Weekends are left out, and no values have been interpolated for missing days.
- Every chart shows foreign currency units per one US dollar. A higher value means a dollar buys more of the selected currency in that reference series.
- The Fed and ECB use different publication methods and observation times. The difference between their observations is not an executable trading spread.
- Provider FX markups and transfer fees are excluded. The ECB publishes its reference rates for information, not for use in transactions.
- The selected H.10/ECB dataset has no VND series. Use a dated VND quote in the calculator.
FX costs and supplier payments
How to compare two FX quotes
Fix the amount your supplier must receive, then compare the dollars needed to fund it. A transfer with no separate fee can still cost more.
Track FX exposure through the purchase order
After a deposit clears, the unpaid currency balance changes. Keep that balance and its due date visible as production and shipping dates move.
Reading an FX chart in dollars and pesos
A lower number on the chart can mean a larger dollar payment. The units tell you which calculation to use.
