Exchange Rate

An Exchange Rate is the value of one currency expressed in terms of another currency. It helps to calculate what amount of currency you'd get when exchanging or trading it for another currency

Example

With the EUR/USD exchange rate at 1.0850, a trader selling €10,000 would receive $10,850 in return, but the rate can fluctuate by the second during active market hours.
