Frequently Asked Questions — Benchmarks

Which yen should the terminal show as the official price?

Neither, on the evidence here. Show CNBC’s 156.920 and MUFG’s 157 area as two timed readings, or pick one and name it. Do not relabel it as a fix.

Is the dollar index at 101.64 a tradable benchmark?

It is CNBC’s description of the index on Monday morning. A benchmark needs a methodology and a timestamp. Those are not in the article.

What would make a later print usable as a benchmark?

A published fix, with a time and a methodology, or a settlement. A second news story is another reading, not the missing methodology.
