Forex Cross Rates

Cross rates are exchange rates between two currencies, neither of which is the US dollar. For example, EUR/GBP, AUD/JPY, and CHF/CAD are all cross rates. While the US dollar dominates global forex trading, cross rates allow traders to take positions based on the relative strength between any two currencies.

The cross rates table above shows a matrix of live exchange rates between major currencies. Each cell displays the rate for converting the row currency into the column currency. This is an essential tool for identifying currency strength, spotting arbitrage opportunities, and planning multi-pair strategies.

Professional traders use cross rate tables to quickly compare relative currency performance. If EUR is strong against USD, GBP, and JPY simultaneously, that's a clear sign of EUR strength — not just weakness in a single counter-currency.
