They vary by where they are filed. Most are filed in local currency. A lot of the previous deals were due to currency fluctuations when the fares were filed in a local currency, so to avoid that some of those locations now have fares filed in USD or euro. You can check in expertflyer if you look at the routing rules section, which includes the fare basis.
