Markets repriced an entire Fed path in one afternoon. Corporates hedging EUR/USD on static, forecast-based ratios just got the reminder: your exposure reprices in minutes, your annual hedge policy doesn't. That gap is where margins die.

One Jackson Hole speech moved Sept Fed hike odds from 36% to 60% and gave 2-year yields their biggest speech-day jump in 20 years. If your hedge ratio was built on "the Fed is done," it aged 5 years in 15 minutes. Is your FX policy rate-path-proof? #FXHedging #Treasury
1/7 The Fed hasn't cut rates once this year. Yet the dollar sits near a 3-month low and markets have already priced ~54bp of easing by December. This is the most misunderstood thing in FX: currencies move on expectations, not decisions. 🧵
6/7 What to watch Friday: not whether Warsh sounds hawkish or dovish, but whether he sounds *different from the 85% already in the price*. That delta is what moves EUR/USD, USD/CHF, and your hedge book.
7/7 Bottom line: FX markets trade expectations. Hedging strategies should too. Systematically, not on gut feel after headlines. Curious how AI handles this? aaaccell.ch

A new Fed Chair gives his first Jackson Hole keynote Friday. Behind him: the most divided FOMC in two decades. Markets still don't know his reaction function — Goldman expects 50–150 pip swings in majors within 2 hours.

US July CPI drops at 14:30 CET. Friday's payrolls just erased a September Fed hike from market pricing — one hot inflation print puts it right back.

The "eternally strong franc" era is on pause: CHF near a 1-year low vs USD, EUR/CHF at fresh highs, SNB on hold at 0% into 2027.
If your hedge policy was calibrated for a one-way franc, you don't have a policy. You have a memory. #FXHedging #CHF
Fed decision day. Hike odds jumped from 10% to ~35% in two weeks — the market changed its mind faster than most hedge policies can.

0 votes • Final resultsFed hike odds this week: 10% → 35%. ECB: done cutting. Oil up on Hormuz risk, USD bid. EUR/USD still stuck in a 125-pip range — until it isn't. If your hedge ratio looks identical to last Friday's: discipline or neglect? #FXHedging #Treasury
1/7 The ECB decides on rates today at 13:45 CET. Markets price a 95% chance of "no change."
Here's why corporate FX hedgers should ignore the decision — and watch everything else. 🧵
6/7 What this means for hedging: if your hedge ratio depends on guessing today's outcome, you don't have a hedging policy — you have a trading position.
Systematic, rule-based hedging exists precisely so event days like this are boring.
7/7 The best hedge decision on ECB day was made weeks ago.
If your process still reacts to press conferences instead of exposures, it's worth rethinking.
