The rates desk · FX and Treasuries, read live
The price of money.
Read properly.
Twenty-nine currencies quoted against any base you choose — each cross with its rate as the ECB fixed it and its move since the previous banking day — then the US Treasury yield curve, today’s line inked over the same curve a year ago, and twelve months of any pair drawn in canvas by this page’s own hand.
No key, no account, no server in the middle. The FX rates are the European Central Bank’s daily reference rates, served openly by Frankfurter; the yields are the U.S. Treasury’s own daily par yield curve, read off the department’s published feed.
29 currencies · 10 Treasury tenors · one fixing per banking day · every chart drawn by the page itself
The crosses
Every cross. One base.
Choose the base and the board quotes the rest against it — the rate as fixed, and the day’s move against the previous banking day. The converter underneath works both ways, through the same fixing. A press on any row draws a year of that cross below.

The curve
The Treasury curve, today over last year.
Ten tenors, three months to thirty years, as the U.S. Treasury published them — today’s curve in the accent ink, the same curve one year ago in grey, and what the spread says stated plainly underneath. When the short end yields more than the long, the page says the word: inverted.

The chart
A year of any cross.
Pick a currency and the canvas draws twelve months of its rate against the base — every banking day the ECB fixed, the year’s high and low marked, the move counted. The board above feeds it too: press any row.

About
A desk, not a terminal.
The FX rates are the European Central Bank’s euro foreign exchange reference rates, read here through Frankfurter’s open, keyless API. The ECB publishes them once per banking day, usually around 16:00 CET, and they stand unchanged until the next fixing — they are reference rates for information, not tradeable quotes, and a cross that does not involve the euro is computed through it, the way any desk quotes an untraded pair. Weekends and ECB holidays have no fixing, so the day’s move is measured against the previous banking day, whatever the calendar says.
The yields are the Daily Treasury Par Yield Curve — the U.S. Treasury’s own end-of-day figures, read off the department’s published XML feed. Par yields are derived from the closing bid prices of the most recently auctioned securities at each tenor, and the day’s row appears after the New York close; until it does, the newest published day stands, dated.
What the feeds do not say, the desk does not invent. Every figure on this page is stamped with the day it was fixed; a missing tenor stays missing; a feed that will not answer is reported as exactly that, and the rest of the page carries on with what did. Your chosen base and cross are remembered in this browser and nowhere else.
