Not really unfortunately. Suppose I bought a share for 100โ‚ฌ, which went up to 200โ‚ฌ by now. Thats a 100% increase. But if the USD-EUR ratio went up by 100% as well so that my say 104$ share is still worth 104$, the graph would show a 0% increase. In reality, I made a 100% profit. Now of course when considering all stocks, not individual ones, this becomes more complicated but why would using a single currency for this statistic be necessary?

Edit: I see now, the graph is meant to be from a US investors perspective. Title is pretty misleading in that case.
