US GDP: 1.6%. Core PCE: 3.3%. ISM Mfg: 54.0.
Slowing growth + sticky inflation + strong output — all at once.
Your bank's FX model wasn't built for this. Neither was your static hedge ratio.
How does your FX program hold up when the playbook breaks? #FXHedging#Treasury
EUR/CHF swung 70 pips this week. SNB flagged FX intervention. Dollar near 4-year lows.
CFOs who locked a static hedge in Q1 and moved on: this week quietly eroded your margins.

EUR/USD hit a 6-week low today. Cause: US strikes in Iran. Your Q3 hedge ratios were set before this headline. Static FX programs don't survive geopolitics. The CFOs sleeping well tonight hedged before the news — not after. #FXRisk#Treasury
6/6
The setup for H2 2026 is unusually complex:
→ SNB at 0%, managing CHF via intervention
→ ECB on hold as energy inflation re-accelerates
→ New Fed Chair Warsh steps in June 16
Build your program for uncertainty, not the base case.

EUR/USD just hit a 6-week low. The trigger: US confirmed strikes in southern Iran.
CFOs often watch this and think: "market noise."
Here's why they're wrong — and what it costs them. 🧵
5/6
What a geopolitical-ready FX program looks like:
→ Pre-set triggers (not emotion-driven)
→ Rolling 3–12 month exposure coverage
→ Scenario floor: What's your P&L if EUR/CHF hits 0.88?
If you can't answer that in 60 seconds, you have a gap.
The bottom line for CFOs & Treasurers:
2026 = monetary policy divergence. Your bank's static EUR/USD forecast is already wrong.
Dynamic hedging adjusts as the macro shifts. That's the edge.

#FXHedging#Treasury#EURUSD
The Fed: most divided vote since October 1992.
ECB: 86% chance of a June rate hike.
EUR/USD near 1.17 — banks targeting 1.20–1.25 by year-end.
If your hedge book was set to "rates will normalize" — this week is the reality check.
Thread on what's driving FX in 2026 👇
This week's FX catalysts:
→ US Consumer Confidence — Tue
→ Fed speakers — watch for dissenter signals
→ EU–US tariff talks — any deal = USD bounce
→ EUR/CHF — SNB verbal intervention risk
Volatility is foreseeable. Hedge before the catalyst, not after.
Moody's didn't just change a rating. It changed the structural assumption your hedge program was built on.
Hedge programs that adapt to market regime — not the calendar — protect margins.
Today's Flash PMI: how much growth is the Eurozone sacrificing?
#FXHedging#Treasury#EUR
Moody's just stripped the US of its last Aaa rating.
EUR/USD is now above 1.16 — up nearly 10% since January.
Most treasury teams have noticed the move.
Very few have updated their hedge programs for the new regime.
Here's what they're missing. 🧵
Add the EUR/CHF layer.
SNB: at zero, limited tools, main lever is FX intervention.
USD weakness → safe-haven CHF bid → SNB pushes back.
For EU companies with CHF costs: you're managing two interlinked regimes at once.
EUR/CHF has its own central bank with its own playbook.
