Currencies
| Pair | Rate | 1-wk |
|---|---|---|
| USD / EUR | 0.87781 | +1.77% |
| USD / GBP | 0.75667 | +1.45% |
| USD / JPY | 161.53 | +0.72% |

| USD / CNY | 6.79 | +0.43% |
The dollar firmed broadly over the past week. The euro traded near 0.87781 per dollar, and the yen hovered around 161.53. A stronger dollar tends to pressure commodities and the earnings of large exporters; a weaker one does the reverse.
The Pulse
Pulling it together, the cross-asset signal reads decidedly defensive. Crypto weighed on sentiment with a -1.76% move. For long-term investors, single-session moves are noise; the value is in the trend, not the tick.
