EM currencies and 60 year highs

The view to 50 year periods takes on a vastly different meaning in regards to EM currency pairs as many pairs trade at 60 and 67 year highs. And highs as USD/Other Currency and EUR/Other currency. USD and EUR both embarked on uptrends with the end result to reach 60 and 67 year highs beginning from 1953 and 1960.

What allowed such a rise in prices from the 1960's onward was the monetary policy revolution  that occurred in Europe between Germany and France and the fight for currency dominance between the French Franc and German Deutschmark. The victory went to the German central bank and the Duetschemark. And this revolution led to today's Euro as a single currency.

If 60 and 67 year highs are viewed from the perspective of averages then miles upon miles of downside exists to both USD and EUR currency pairs. In year 48 of the currency free float then becomes the question to what and how EM currency prices wil trade upon the next 50 year period. Exchange rate prices for EM currencies are much higher  and contain far wider ranges than G28's and explains how easily EM may traverse the vital 50 year period mark. Yet it provides a warning to 60 and 67 year highs as prices must normalize.

USD/CLP the Chilean Peso for example trades at 60 year highs. Chile is home to the world's largest Copper mines and is the world's number 1 supplier. Are Copper prices lower for long periods upon a currency re set to the next 50 year period is unknown.

Following are historic highs for USD and EUR currencies and monthly average highs. All currently trade at or near historic tops. Any higher prices then creates another monthly average. AUD/CHF for example trading at 0.5800's and 60 year lows didn't exist as a price but a new monthly average was created at 0.5900's. Also note EUR exchange rates always priced above USD. Its traditonal EUR.
