Peristiwa yang menggerakkan pasar, kondisi tiap sesi, dan latar makro. Ditulis untuk trader yang menjalankan sistem, bukan menebak arah.
The pre-US slot's defining event does not exist today: the first American release lands at 13:15 UTC, fifteen minutes after the New York open, and the Conference Board's leading index lands at 14:00 — exactly on the option cut, for the second consecutive day. Meanwhile one widely-read calendar has all six of today's US times an hour early. Three settle at the issuing institution in one fetch each.
ECB at 12:15, PPI and claims at 12:30, Lagarde at 12:45, the New York cut at 14:00, EIA crude at 16:00, the 30-year at 17:00.
EUR/USD is sitting at 1.1637 between expiry strikes at 1.1600 and 1.1650 — a pin that needs a quiet tape and will not get one. Which two of the seven windows you are actually paid to be in, and why the last two are the ones missing from most event filters.
Labor Day moved the EIA Weekly Petroleum Status Report to Thursday 10 September at 16:00 UTC — a different day and a different hour from its usual 14:30 UTC Wednesday slot.
API runs tonight at 20:30 UTC. Natural gas storage stays at Thursday 14:30. Two published calendars and our own week-ahead table had it wrong. Why a shifted window costs more than a missing one.
USD/JPY printed 152.89 in Tokyo hours — the yen's strongest since February — then closed New York in the mid-153s after a 154.42 high.
What reversed it was not Japanese: Brent hit $99 on strikes against Saudi energy facilities, and Japan sourced 95.9% of its crude from the Middle East in FY2024. A sizing problem for the Tokyo session.
