Understanding the EUR/USD price

The rule to read the price quote is similar to any other pair. In EUR/USD, the euro represents the base currency in relation to the U.S dollar.

The price quote of EUR/USD means the amount of dollar, which is equivalent to one euro. For example, when EUR/USD quotes 1.40 prices, it means one euro is equivalent to 1.40 U.S dollar.

The Fed revises the Federal funds rate eight times a year.
