That double 80 | 7 comments (7 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

The currency market has been mild these last two/three days with the € shyly testing 1.38 against the dollar. About one hour ago, 16h00 in Lisbon, 9H00 in New York, the currency market shocked up, sending the dollar below 80 on all futures and bringing the cash index briefly to a perilous 80.1 points.

The new €$ record is 1.3843.

I note that using the fixed conversion rate, the DEM$ record from 1995 corresponds to 1.4360 €/$. (On the other hand, I would be curious what the ECU/DEM conversion factor was back then.)

It's 19 April 1995 I'm curous about.

If you take euro introduction rate of 1.17 as an historical average, and assume "around the mean" properties since it went as low as 0.84 it can go as high as 1.17/0.84=1.63.
