Forex Cross Rates

An exchange rate matrix of indicative cross rates between the world's major currencies, updated through the trading day.

How it works

What Are 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 indicative exchange rates between major currencies. Each cell displays the rate for converting the row currency into the column currency. It is a quick way to compare currency strength and plan 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.

How to Read the Cross Rates Table

  1. 01
    Start from the row currencyEach row is the currency you convert from. Read across to the column of the currency you want: the cell shows how many units of the column currency one unit of the row currency buys.
  2. 02
    Compare one currency across its rowIf a currency has gained against most of the others in its row, the move is strength in that currency, not weakness in one counterpart. That tells you which pairs are worth a closer look.
  3. 03
    Derive any cross from two dollar pairsEvery cross can be worked out from the two currencies’ rates against the US dollar, which is how the market prices them. The example below shows the arithmetic.
  4. 04
    Check the tradable price before you tradeThe table shows indicative market rates. Open the instrument page for the live price, spread and swap you would trade at GCC Brokers.
Example: working out EUR/GBP and EUR/JPY

Say EUR/USD is 1.1250, GBP/USD is 1.3240 and USD/JPY is 157.86.

Both EUR/USD and GBP/USD are quoted against the dollar, so divide: EUR/GBP = 1.1250 ÷ 1.3240 = 0.8497. One euro buys about 0.85 pounds.

For EUR/JPY the dollar is the quote of one pair and the base of the other, so multiply: EUR/JPY = 1.1250 × 157.86 = 177.59.

If the table then shows EUR/GBP rising while EUR/USD is flat, it is the pound that is weakening, against the euro and the dollar alike.

FAQ

Forex Cross Rates FAQ

How do I read the cross rates table?

The row currency is the base, and the column currency is the quote. The number shows how much of the column currency equals 1 unit of the row currency. For example, if the EUR row and GBP column shows 0.8580, then 1 EUR = 0.8580 GBP.

How often are the rates updated?

The table updates continuously during market hours. The rates are indicative market data supplied by TradingView, not GCC Brokers' tradable prices. Each instrument page shows the live price and spread you would trade at.

Can I trade cross pairs at GCC Brokers?

Yes. GCC Brokers offers 46 forex pairs, including all 28 pairs between the eight currencies in this table, such as EUR/GBP, EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY and AUD/JPY. Check our Markets page for the full list of available currency pairs.

Why are cross rates important?

Cross rates reveal true currency strength. If EUR/USD is rising, it could mean EUR is strengthening or USD is weakening. Checking EUR against GBP, JPY, and AUD at the same time tells you whether it's genuine EUR strength or just a USD move.

How is a cross rate calculated?

From both currencies’ rates against a common currency, usually the US dollar. Divide when both pairs are quoted against the dollar (EUR/USD ÷ GBP/USD = EUR/GBP) and multiply when the dollar is the quote of one pair and the base of the other (EUR/USD × USD/JPY = EUR/JPY).

Do cross pairs cost more to trade than the majors?

Crosses usually have wider spreads than the major dollar pairs because they are less liquid, and their swap rates differ. Each instrument page shows the live spread and the current swap at GCC Brokers.
