This application will display exchange rates sourced from the US Federal Reserve.
The latest available rates are displayed relative to the Euro by default. This can be changed by selecting a different base currency. A timeseries of exchange rates of a single target currency relative to the base is displayed graphically. The target can be changed by selecting one of current rates. The time range of the graph is selectable also.
The exchange timeseries values are displayed in a table and there is a link that allows this selected time series to be downloaded in CSV format.
Current financial news is displayed in a sidebar next to the exchnage rate data.
