Dear Forum,

I love my iphone and use it to track stocks. I can't seem to find a way to track currencies or commodities though.

Can anyone give me some hints or suggestions on how to track the price of oil and the US Dollar (seperately of course).

cheers!

The US dollar as compared to the Euro you would type USDEUR=X vs the yen USDJPY=X

For oil its tougher you can use bloomberg.com it has everything on the right hand side, I was thinking about trying to turn that into an app and replace it with the stock widget.
