Methodology & data
Open = first recorded price of the year (2010 from 18 July, start of our daily data), year-end = last price before January 1 of the following year. The return is computed separately in each currency from the opening and closing price. All values come from our own price database (daily data from July 2010, 5-minute resolution since 2012). USD prices are the historically traded prices; EUR values are converted from them at each day's ECB reference rate.
