: Hi Mark,

: For quite some time I have been retrieving the Canadian currency exchange rate (Symbol ^CCD) using the Yahoo quote server and it has always retrieved it in the format .9999 however since the beginning of this month the format has changed to 99.99. Needless to say, this affects my U.S. investments when I convert them to Canadian currency. Has anything changed in this regard?

: Thanx,
: Sheldon

Hi Sheldon,

I assume you're using the Yahoo quote server? You can find the symbols
for exchange rates here:

http://finance.yahoo.com/m3?u

For the one I believe you're looking for, you would use:

CADUSD=X

They have the conversions available in either direction. The value for
CADUSD=X is 0.7457,and the value for USDCAD=X is 1.3411.

Thanks,
Mark
