Is there any online service that provides (in any format whatsoever) historical foreign exchange rates, with bid/ask values? Intra-day would be preferred, but end-of-day is also of interest.

Here are three sites I can recommend:

  • ERS International Macroeconomic Data Set: This is annualised data put out by the US Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service and isn't too bad;
  • XE: This is a commercial service which can supply a currency instream but also provides historical data and a fair amount of info available free from the site.
  • UN Data: This is my favourite site for global data sourcing. You sometimes have to hunt a bit but this search brought up quite a bit and you may find what you're looking for directly.

  • Thanks for the recommendations. Unfortunately, none of them seem to provide bid-ask spreads, let alone intra-date rates...

  • As a follow-up question, are you willing to pay for that service because I'm not sure that such data is available for free? Otherwise - and I haven't explored this - I know Yahoo! has an API for stock activity, perhaps they also have something for exchange rates?

  • Indeed, it seems bad/ask data (certainly at low intervals, ticks even) is only available via paid services. I have however found one that seems suitable now. Thanks for your help; I'll accept this answer anyway.
