## Description
This dataset offers a comprehensive historical record of exchange rates between the US Dollar (USD) and over 140 other global currencies, forming a collection of more than 140 currency pairs. The data is structured with the USD as the base currency, providing a detailed and invaluable resource for financial analysis, economic research, and international market studies.
## Dataset Structure
- **Base Currency:** All exchange rates are quoted in terms of the US Dollar (USD). This means each record shows how much of a foreign currency is equivalent to one USD.
- **Currency Pairs:** The dataset includes over 140 different foreign currencies paired against the USD, like USD/EUR, USD/JPY, etc. Each pair represents the rate of exchange between the USD and the respective foreign currency.
- **Conversion Formula (Target Currency to USD):** To convert a value from a target currency (e.g., EUR, JPY) to USD, the formula is `1 / rate`. For instance, if the EUR/USD rate is 0.85, then 1 Euro is equivalent to 1/0.85 USD.
- **Cross-Currency Conversion Formula:** To calculate the exchange rate from one non-USD currency to another (e.g., EUR to JPY), use the formula `1 / (rate of USD to EUR / rate of USD to JPY)`. This formula allows for the derivation of exchange rates between two foreign currencies without directly referencing their individual rates against the USD.
- **Historical Data:** The dataset encompasses historical exchange rate data, offering a timeline that is crucial for trend analysis and historical comparisons.
## Use Cases
- **Economic Research:** Useful for macroeconomic studies, especially in analyzing currency fluctuations and their impact on global trade and economics.
- **Financial Analysis:** Essential for financial analysts and investors for currency risk assessment, portfolio diversification, and international investment strategies.
- **Market Forecasting:** Aids in forecasting market trends by studying historical currency performance.
- **Educational Use:** Serves as a practical dataset for academic purposes, particularly in courses related to finance, international business, and economics.
