Central banks refresh daily exchange tables and New York State confirms 2027 minimum wage stays at $17.00 in metro areas

Dollar-euro spot holds at 1.1400 as the Federal Reserve posts the daily cross

S. S. Dollars to One Euro on 4 October 2026, not seasonally adjusted, with the figure attributed to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

The quote is a one-line daily cross that feeds any currency conversion where USD and EUR are both sides of the leg, including pay runs for cross-border contractors, invoicing for imports priced in euros, and household budget conversions for readers tracking prices published in euros. Because the rate is published by the Fed rather than by an interbank desk, it is treated as an official reference for accounting and reporting rather than as a tradable quote.

Central Bank of Russia and National Bank of Georgia reset official currency tables

The Central Bank of the Russian Federation has set, from 03.10.2026, a new set of official exchange rates of foreign currencies against the ruble, without assuming any obligation to buy or sell currencies at those rates. The page is the Bank of Russia's daily currency base, which is the figure Russian-resident importers, exporters and payroll processors must use for statutory conversion. Separately, the National Bank of Georgia published its own indicative official exchange rate, with the regulator noting that the rate is for indicative use and is not obligatory except where legal requirements specify it.

Kuwait posts a refreshed dinar cross table while Mongolia sets togrog reference rates

The Central Bank of Kuwait refreshed its foreign-currencies exchange-rates page on Sun 04.10.2026, recording a -0.56% change against the Pound and a -0.03% change against the Japanese Yen, with the yen quoted at 1.9515 Fils per unit. The Bank of Mongolia's official Daily Foreign Exchange Rates table shows the US dollar at 3,595.79, the euro at 4,049.04, the Japanese yen at 22.82, the Swiss franc at 4,346.42 and the Swedish krona at an additional entry on the same page. The two tables together cover the Gulf and North-East Asian reference crosses that importers and remittance desks compare when triangulating dinar, togrog and yen leg values against a USD anchor.

New York State confirms 2027 minimum wage holds at $17.00 in metro areas

On January 1, 2027, New York's minimum wage will stay the same, at $17.00 per hour in New York City, Long Island and Westchester County and $16.00 per hour in the rest of the state, according to a notice from the Office of the Governor of New York State. For payroll operators and small-business owners running gross-to-net math, the unchanged rate means 2026 schedules carry into 2027 without a re-band, and any calculator that takes an hourly wage as input should still key off the existing $17.00 / $16.00 split. The decision is administrative, not legislative in the evidence shown, so the rate is fixed by announcement rather than by an indexed formula.

How practitioners can run the numbers today

Three concrete checks follow directly from the day's figures. First, anyone converting euros to dollars can divide by the Fed's 1.1400 cross to land at an official reference. Second, payroll desks planning 2027 budgets can lock in the $17.00 / $16.00 split for New York State now rather than wait for a later revision. Third, importers settling Russian-ruble, Georgian-lari, Kuwaiti-dinar or Mongolian-togrog invoices should pull each central bank's own table rather than a third-party aggregator, because each authority's page states its own legal status.
