Data Notes
- Based on the Federal Reserve G.5 noon buying rate, as compiled by FRED (Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis). Annual and monthly averages are averages of daily rates, so they may differ slightly from actual transaction rates.
- All rates are standardized to the "local currency per 1 USD" direction (e.g., KRW/USD 1,421 = 1,421 won per dollar). Be careful — the direction of quotation can flip how a move reads as up or down.
- The latest exchange rate (top card) is not a monthly average but a single day's posted rate from 2026-07-10, so comparing it directly with June's monthly average may make the change look larger than it is.
- Monthly averages for August 2026 onward have not yet been published.
