Exchange rates fluctuate constantly throughout the week as currencies are actively traded. This pushes the price up and down. Let's walk through the rate works in RIVO.

If the USD/CAD currency pair is 1.33, that means it costs 1.33 Canadian dollars for 1 U.S. dollar. In USD/CAD, the first currency listed (USD) always stands for one unit of that currency; the exchange rate shows how much of the second currency (CAD) is needed to purchase that one unit of the first (USD).

This rate tells you how much it costs to buy one U.S. dollar using Canadian dollars. To find out how much it costs to buy one Canadian dollar using U.S. dollars, use the following formula: 1/exchange rate.

In this case, 1 / 1.33 = 0.7518. It costs 0.7518 U.S. dollars to buy one Canadian dollar. This price would be reflected by the CAD/USD pair; notice the position of the currencies has switched.
