  • Expected range: 9.4600 – 9.6260

🧭 Key drivers

  • Risk/commodities: Global risk sentiment is moderately risk-sensitive, pressured by geopolitical factors and risk-off flows.
  • Global factors: Risk sentiment remains the dominant driver, with safe-haven demand supporting the overall risk-off bias.

⚠️ What could change it

  • Upside risk: A rally in global risk appetite or easing geopolitical tensions could strengthen the pair.
  • Downside risk: Escalating risk aversion or geopolitical tensions might deepen the pair’s decline.

Shopping around for the lowest margin providers may help reduce overall transfer costs.
