If I'm reading these charts right, the Dollar is getting stronger against the Ruble, the Ruble is gaining on the Yuan, and the Yuan is strengthening against the Dollar.
If that’s actually what's happening, I'm stumped—why? How can A be stronger than B, B be stronger than C, and C be stronger than A all at once?
As Bradley Walker88 pointed out, you're reading them wrong. If you understand basic math, you can view these ratios as fractions: RUB/CNY * USD/RUB = USD/CNY
