    People aren’t talking about absolute value. Being worth 0.01 of one dollar or 300 of one dollar doesn’t say anything.

    People are saying it with the context of the previous value.

    If there is a headline saying Euro/dollar has reached 1.30, no one should be responding “so what, the Canadian dollar is 1.35”. Because everyone knows the context of Euro/dollar not being near that rate for a long time.
