A year of buying EUR
Over the last 364 days EUR closed between $1.1197 (October 9, 2026) and $1.2023 (January 27, 2026). One hundred dollars put in at the low would be worth $100 today; at the high, $93. The current price $1.1203 is above 2 of those 364 daily closes, so a purchase on a random day of that stretch would be in profit 1% of the time — fees aside.
A typical day moves EUR by 0.8%: a $1,000 position swings about $8 a day.
