In stable weeks, the primary determinant of transfer value is provider selection, not rate timing. The best provider this week may deliver 2–4% more than the worst on the same corridor, which is larger than any rate move recorded this week.

Timing does not matter significantly this week — rates have not moved enough to reward waiting. The higher-value action is comparing providers before each transfer.
