I just did some calculation. Yes, the rate used on the Chase statement is different from any of the dates adjacent to the posting date. But by using the visa.com rate on the posting date shown on the activities page, multiply it by the foreign currency amount, and round it to the hundredth, you get the correct USD amount charged to the card (without DCC of course).

I guess even though the rates look different, the stuff smaller than the hundredth just doesn't do anything...

I'd rather forfeit the 2 cents and keep the whole dollar
