What this rate is for

This is a Treasury Reporting Rate of Exchange, not a market rate. U.S. government agencies are required to use it when converting foreign-currency balances into dollars for official reports, so it is set once a quarter and held fixed until the next revision.

That makes it useful for reconciling government figures and for seeing a currency's path across quarters — but it is not the rate you would get from a bank or a broker today, and it should not be used for pricing a transaction.
