RatesFX - Daily foreign exchange rates, information about currencies and currency markets
Description
History
This web site started as a personal project at the University of Tampere, Finland, in the summer of 1995. The web was still in its infancy and the few existing web sites that provided exchange rates were not very well suited for those who were interested in currency market risk analysis and risk management. Most sites were also very American dollar centric, and the data visualization was pretty much non-existent.
Rates, as it was called till 2004, was created to fulfill those needs. At the beginning it was written entirely in Mathematica and parsed together with several shell scripts. Shell scripts were soon replaced by Perl, but the three megabyte disk quota was really limiting!
The site soon turned out to be quite popular among FX professionals, Fortune Global 500 companies and ordinary people. More features were added and Perl replaced more and more Mathematica.
