Indirect Quote

A foreign exchange rate quoted as the foreign currency per unit of the domestic currency. In an indirect quote, the foreign currency is a variable amount and the domestic currency is fixed at one unit.

Investopedia Says:
For example, in the U.S., an indirect quote for the Canadian dollar would be C$1.17 = US$1. Conversely, in Canada an indirect quote for U.S. dollars would be US$0.85 = C$1.
