Neither the 7-day nor 30-day moves are large enough to signal a strong directional trend — the corridors are broadly range-bound. The 3.2-percentage-point gap between the strongest and weakest corridor indicates divergent macro conditions — not a uniform market move. Senders should evaluate their specific corridor independently.

Does timing matter? Not materially — moves across the 9 monitored corridors are modest and broadly range-bound. Provider fees represent a larger cost variable than rate timing.
