How currency strength is calculated
For each of the eight currencies we take its percentage change against the US dollar over the period (from the last close before the period starts to the latest close), using real prices of EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD, NZD/USD, USD/JPY, USD/CAD and USD/CHF. The US dollar itself is 0. We then subtract the average of all eight, so a currency above zero has done better than the group and one below zero worse. A cell in the pair matrix is the difference between two currencies, which is approximately how far that cross rate moved. Hourly prices are used for today and 24 hours, daily prices for longer periods. It describes what already happened; it is not a forecast.
