Currencies

The pair, namely the "currency pair", means the currency of one country, expressed in the currency of another country. The value of one currency against another currency is also determined by the economic situation comparison of that country. So when we say EUR / USD, it represents the value of EUR against USD. Here, EUR represents the European Union currency, ie EURO, and USD represents the US currency. The EUR is called BASE currency here, and the USD is called the counter currency.
