How to read the currency strength meter
Every currency price is a pair: EUR/USD is the price of one euro in dollars, so a rising EUR/USD can mean the euro is strong, the dollar is weak, or both. A strength meter separates the two by comparing each currency with all the others at once. If the dollar is up against seven currencies, it is clearly the strong one; if the euro is up against only the dollar, the story is about the dollar.
Use it to see where the market's attention is, then look at the reasons: interest-rate differences, inflation, trade flows and central-bank decisions. Our forex calls show those drivers for each pair, central bank interest rates lists the policy rates side by side, and why currencies move explains the forces in depth. Short-term strength often fades, so a longer horizon is a better guide to the trend than one day.
Frequently asked questions
What is a currency strength meter?
It ranks currencies by how much each has gained or lost against the others over a period. A currency that has risen against most of the other seven majors shows as strong, one that has fallen against most as weak. It describes what already happened; it does not predict what comes next.
How is the strength calculated on this page?
For each of the eight major currencies (US dollar, euro, pound, yen, Swiss franc, Australian, New Zealand and Canadian dollar) we take the percentage change against each of the other seven over the period and average them. The data are daily reference rates, so the meter updates once a day, not tick by tick.
Which currency is strongest right now?
Over the past week the strongest of the eight is CAD (+0.57% on average) and the weakest is USD (−0.55%). Over the past month the strongest is USD and the weakest EUR.
Can I trade on a currency strength meter?
A strength reading is a way to see the market at a glance, not a trading signal. Strong currencies can keep rising or reverse, and rates, inflation and central-bank decisions drive the moves. Read our forex calls for the factors behind each pair, and treat all of it as research, not advice.
Educational information, not financial advice. Strength readings describe past moves and do not predict future ones.
