USD/EUR...or EUR/USD?

Twitter • @300hours • 8 likes • 1 replies/RTs

At work, "USD/EUR" usually means Euros per USD = USD is the base currency. So a quote of 0.762 USD/EUR means that each USD costs EUR0.762.

In the CFA curriculum, this would be "EUR/USD". So a quote of 1.3123 USD/EUR means that each EUR costs USD1.3123.
