exchange rate


Explanation:
The other answers (parity, par value) are correct translations of the term, but it looks to me like the term is being misused in this context, as parity is not a concept which is subject to change in price.

Hence I would translate as exchange rate, unless you want a 'warts and all' translation.

disagree  Evelina Botelle: Creo que solo "exchange rate" deja afuera la idea de paridad que es a lo que apunta el texto.
