Hello and thank you for your interesting question.
I have compilied for you the daily exchange rates between dollars and
yen and dollars and euros, the percentage change from day to day, and
what was going on of interest in the world on a daily basis throughout
the period. Of course, how each event might have contributed to the
constantly shifting rates will be a matter of some speculation.
Google Answers has difficulty formatting tabular data, so please bear
with us in viewing the information below. Please look at the three
part answer as follows:
Part I
Daily exchange of USD/JPY (i.e. how many dollars 1 yen will buy) and
the percent change in that exchange rate from the previous day. For
example, on Julian day 2452640, December 31, 2002, Tuesday, 1 yen
would buy 0.0084211 dollars. And the change in the exchange rate from
December 31, 2003 to Jan 2, 2003 was
(.0083432-.0084211)/.0084211 = -0.93%
