    I have attached some screenshots so you know what I am talking about. I am asking about the data they provide for finance yahoo data ?

    Is that ICE data or WM Reuters data ? Also which time zone is that because I want to match the data with my IQFeed FXCM data subscription and I have no idea from what time zone the daily bars in the historical data tab of finance yahoo have been created.

    If you can help me, thank you.

    This page appears to indicate that Yahoo gets its currency rates from ICE Data Services.

    I don't know what time zone they use LOL You might have dig through some pages over at ICE Data Services to find that. Probably New York or London.

    I also find this website, that is where I made the screenshot in my first post here. But for 8th December it is indicating a close of 1.0792 this day, I cannot match this with my IQfeed data at all. Do you have an idea here ?
    I mean the close price is always the open price from the same day, which should be wrong. So I am questioning the methodology how they present the data.
