FX Information Platform

Does anyone know if there’s a free website that provides a one-glance snapshot of exchange rates, interest rates, and real yields like Bloomberg does with their FXIP function? Here’s a look at the Chinese Yuan (CNY) from this afternoon — pretty slick.

    It’s no where near as useful, but the FT.com provide pdf reports of prices as of 2:00 the previous day.

    http://www.ft.com/marketdata/bondsandrates

    Here you can get the exchange rate forwards and corresponding money market rates etc, but it’s stale info, and so it’s only good for general reference. I’d be very interested if any body has a decent free solution.

    Econocator: Thanks for that, but WTF is the FT thinking producing .pdf documents, hello? … crazy.

    The closest that I could find is Oanda. (www.oanda.com)

    Sign up for a “training account” and you get all sorts of information, including interest rates, currency pairs, etc. Not everything is on one screen, though.

    Doug: Thanks, I know Oanda provides a lot of good info, but I’m looking for that snapshot view which seems hard to find for free.
