Currencies
The Currencies page provides foreign exchange rate data from official central bank sources, institutional positioning in currency futures, and a curated FX news feed with central bank source identification.
Market Navigation
Section titled “Market Navigation”The page links to the Foreign Exchange market screener page, where you can browse all available FX pairs with price forecasts and sentiment data.
Fed FX Rates
Section titled “Fed FX Rates”Official exchange rates from the Federal Reserve’s H.10 statistical release. The H.10 provides daily noon buying rates for major currencies against the US dollar.
Each currency pair displays:
- Current rate — Latest exchange rate (4-decimal precision)
- 30-day sparkline — Mini trend chart showing the rate’s recent trajectory
This table covers all currencies published in the Fed’s H.10 release, providing a comprehensive view of USD exchange rates from an official source.
ECB FX Rates
Section titled “ECB FX Rates”European Central Bank EUR reference rates, providing official exchange rates denominated in euros rather than US dollars. Each pair includes a 30-day sparkline for trend context.
Comparing the Fed and ECB rate tables side-by-side shows the same currencies from two different base currency perspectives — useful for identifying relative strength/weakness patterns.
FX COT Positioning
Section titled “FX COT Positioning”CFTC Commitments of Traders data for currency futures, showing how institutional and speculative traders are positioned in major currency pairs.

Reading FX COT
Section titled “Reading FX COT”- Net long in a currency future means speculators expect that currency to appreciate against USD
- Net short means speculators expect depreciation
- Extreme speculator positioning in FX futures has historically correlated with currency turning points
- Divergence from commercial positioning often signals that speculative momentum is overextended

FX News Feed
Section titled “FX News Feed”An aggregated news feed from five sources, each color-coded for quick identification:
| Source | Color | Focus |
|---|---|---|

| Federal Reserve | Green | Fed statements, minutes, speeches |
| ECB | Purple | ECB policy decisions and commentary |

The color coding makes it easy to scan the feed for central bank communications versus market analysis. This is particularly useful around policy meeting dates when central bank headlines drive FX volatility.
