The Euro finally reached $1.50 making it the first currency I've been measuring to reach one of my benchmarks. When I first started estimating, the Euro wasn't supposed to reach $1.50 until July. After a few months of predicting April to be the key month, the Euro made some strong gains in February that lead to a higher than expected average in March.
Other big gainers this past month were the Swedish Krona, Japanese Yen, and the Swiss Franc. The notable loser is Canada, although its trendline is still steeper than Australia's. The Korean Won also lost out this past month. So much so, that the trendline flipped so that it's actually losing value against US Dollar. It's now the only benchmark I have that's going the opposite direction.
