Global Macro FX

Our Global FX Macro Drivers section examines five key forces: Central Banks (monetary policy decisions), Geopolitics (conflicts/trade wars), Rates & Inflation (interest rate differentials), Cycle & Recession (economic turning points), and Cross-Market (interactions with equities/commodities) - all critical for currency valuation and capital flows.

Our Central Banks subsection deciphers policy statements, meeting minutes, and forward guidance from major institutions (Fed, ECB, BoJ etc.). We focus on interest rate expectations, QT/QE programs, and policy divergence - key drivers of currency strength and carry trade opportunities.

The Cross-Market section examines how movements in equities, bonds, and commodities impact currency pairs. Since risk sentiment (VIX), Treasury yields, and oil prices directly influence FX flows, this analysis provides context for why currencies move beyond direct fundamentals.

Our Cycle & Recession monitoring is updated weekly, tracking leading indicators (PMIs, yield curves, employment) across major economies. We provide currency correlation analysis showing how pairs historically perform during different economic phases.

Yes. While focusing on G10 currencies, our Geopolitics and Rates & Inflation subsections specifically address EM vulnerabilities. We analyze sovereign risk premiums, commodity dependencies, and capital flight scenarios that drive currencies like BRL, ZAR, and TRY.

Each report connects macro drivers to actionable insights: We highlight currency pairs most sensitive to rate decisions (Rates & Inflation), identify geopolitical risk hedges (Geopolitics), and show how to position for economic transitions (Cycle & Recession). Specific trade setups are synthesized in our daily market reports.
