Sight Deposits and CHF Intervention Signals

SNB sight deposits are the most transparent real-time proxy for CHF intervention available to FX markets. Each week the Swiss National Bank publishes the total held by domestic banks — a number that rises sharply when the SNB is buying foreign currency to weaken the franc and falls when it is selling. This guide explains how to read the series, what thresholds matter, and how CHF traders combine it with FX reserves, the balance sheet, and the policy rate to build a complete intervention risk framework.

CNY Managed Float and Emerging Market Contagion

The PBOC's managed float is more than an exchange-rate tool — it is a macro contagion lever. When Beijing adjusts the CNY fixing, the shockwave travels through AUD, BRL, KRW, and the broader EM FX complex within hours. This article maps the transmission channels, the historical devaluation episodes, and the data signals that give traders early warning.

EUR Inflation vs. ECB Dovishness: The Disconnect

Eurozone headline inflation has bounced between 2% and 2.5% for most of 2025–2026, services prices remain stubbornly above 3.5%, yet the ECB has cut rates seven times and signalled more easing ahead. This deep-dive maps the divergence between what the inflation data says and what the ECB is doing — and explains what it means for EUR/USD, the rate differential trade, and the key signals to watch in Q2 2026.

Trade Wars and Safe-Haven Flows: How Tariffs Drive USD and JPY

Tariffs are not just trade policy — they are a macro shock that fractures the traditional dollar safe-haven narrative, sends capital flooding into the yen, and compresses the US–Japan rate differential. This analysis covers the 2025–2026 tariff escalation cycle, explains why JPY outperforms USD in trade-war risk-off, and provides a practical signal framework for trading USD/JPY through each regime.

CAD Under Pressure: Tariffs, Oil, and the BoC Easing Cycle

Three forces are converging on the Canadian dollar simultaneously: the broadest Canada-US tariff escalation since NAFTA, a WTI crude price that has spent most of 2025-2026 below $75, and a BoC overnight rate sitting 175-200 bps below the Fed. This article maps all three headwinds, shows how they interact, and identifies the signals that will determine whether USD/CAD finds a ceiling or continues higher.
