Local Context
Currency exchange rates reflect each country's economic conditions — interest rates, inflation, trade balances, and political stability. Major currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CHF) typically have lower spreads than emerging market currencies. Exchange rates update on business days and reflect interbank market prices.
