Dollars vs Euros


I thought it might be interesting to see how the oil price has changed in Euros over the last few months, rather than focussing on the headline dollar price (in a world where the dollar's melting).

The graph shows how the 38% dollar increase from $90 to $125 is equivalent to a 33% increase from euro60 to euro80. So the dollar weakness doesn't seem to have had that much effect over the past few months.
