I am trying to train myself to visualize and understand how the FX currencies are relative to the USD. Typically how does one view how the US Dollar is doing?
I guess I am having a hard to understanding it based on something like this:
EUR/USD 1.52851
I know it is the equivalent to:
A) 1 Euro = 1.52127 USD
B) 1 US Dollar (USD) = 0.65735 Euro (EUR)
In this case, the Euro is stronger than the US dollars right? This means that the Euro is worth more than the USD. For every 1 Euro, it is worth $1.52 USD.
But how about in this case:
GBP/JPY 206.599
Every 1GBP is equivalent to 206.599.
It appears that the pound is very strong. However, isn't it true that most products in Japan sell for thousands and thousands of yen, so 206.599 Yen or 1GBP really isn't that much?
Typically FX Statistical Data is given as:
A/B = 1.52
Where A = Currency A and B = Currency B
Therefore, is it safe to say that if the value for A/B is greater than 1, then currency A is stronger than currency B.

Im referring to China's trade surplus savings and the middle east's revenue from oil exports. Do they put this money into these funds to maintain currency thereby ensuring stable export rates?

Can you guess the fate of the guy who sponsored a bill that would replace "In God We Trust" with something more sensible and secular? Is fear of political suicide the reason the issue remains so untouched today?

And which does "all denominations welcome" mean when a church has a sign that says that?
As for hugging the dog in the avatar, Snickers is a good dog but a bad mix (Chow/Shepard). He is great if he knows you, but tends to attack strangers on sight.

I need real time £/$ data with the smallest delay possible… I know there are websites that offer this information for free, but I am not sure where.
BBC is 15 min delay
Bloomberg is 15 min delay
FT is 20min delay
And most others are similar times!
Can anyone please help me?!
I have just found 5min delay on Global View!
Real time does exist and however is charged at a premium from most places - however I have been told (for sure) that there are a few free providers out there!
