How this list is built
The rule: The currency a live market trades in gained at least 5% against the US dollar over the last year. The figure is the change in the dollar value of one unit of the currency, so it is what the currency alone did to a US holder's shares in that market. Read from each live market's currency, read as its daily value in US dollars, closes up to 2026-11-06: 32 of the 32 currencies in this rule's range could be measured. No currency in the range was left out.
