[hoosier1470]

Any info on forex yet? I am not able to get anything...they do appear to be down!

[shedguy]

Nothing, I can pull up the page but it states closed next to the date, I just don't know if it is just a daily closure. some of my hits on CBI are taking a long time to refresh

[shedguy]

Has CBI added a zero to the original 1170, anyone see this

[shedguy]

What are special drawing rights on the CBI site, it is on the bottom of the rates, I have never seen that before, anybody got any answers

[Brisco]

Forex is seeming to be normal. Brought up the page just right. The three zeros have been after 1170 for sometime now. Nothing new unfortunately.

shedguy - Special Drawing Rights have been there for a while. This has something to do with the IMF. All central banks have special drawing rights from the IMF (if I understand this correctly). The special drawing rights is a way that the IMF equalizes all countries currencies into one value so they can lend on an equal basis to that country. Again, I am no expert in this so I may have missed the boat completely on what they are, but they have been on the CBI website for a while.
