Derived from 426 currency-relevant signals
across 2271 sources.
Each currency scored by sentiment, central bank policy language, and economic data coverage.
Updated Tuesday, June 30, 2026.
Overall sentiment strength. Positive = bullish for that currency (strengthening). Negative = bearish (weakening). Derived from keyword sentiment analysis of news signals mentioning each currency, its central bank, and economic data.
HAWKISH / DOVISH
Central bank policy direction. Hawkish means the central bank favours higher interest rates — language like “tightening”, “inflation persistent”, “higher for longer”. This strengthens the currency. Dovish means the bank favours lower rates — “easing”, “rate cut”, “growth concerns”. This weakens it. The percentage shows how much of the recent coverage leans hawkish vs dovish.
⚡ VELOCITY SPIKE
Flags when a currency’s news volume in the last 3 days is more than double its 7-day average. A spike typically signals incoming volatility — a major economic release, surprise policy move, or geopolitical event. Consider widening stops or reducing position size.
EVENT RISK TAGS
Detected from signal text: RATE DECISION (central bank meeting), INFLATION (CPI/PPI data), EMPLOYMENT (NFP/jobs), GDP (growth data), SPEECH (governor/chair remarks), PMI (manufacturing/services). These events cause the largest intraday moves.
PAIR BIAS
Calculated as base currency score minus quote currency score. STRONG BUY (>30): clear bullish narrative divergence. BUY (11–30): moderate bullish lean. NEUTRAL (−10 to +10): no clear direction. SELL / STRONG SELL: bearish narrative for the pair.
DIVERGENCE
How far apart the two currencies in a pair are scoring. STRONG divergence means high conviction — one currency clearly strengthening while the other weakens. WEAK divergence means both currencies are scoring similarly, suggesting a ranging or directionless pair.
CONFIDENCE
Based on signal volume and source diversity. Higher confidence means more articles from more independent sources agree on the direction. Low confidence scores should be treated with caution — the signal may be based on limited or single-source coverage.
This scorecard is a narrative forecast, not a trading recommendation.
It reflects where news coverage is heading, not where price will go.
Always combine with technical analysis, risk management, and your own judgement.
Past signal accuracy does not guarantee future performance.

AUD/NZD may extend its rally after reaching a fresh 13-year high ahead of the RBNZ policy decision.
