What mattered
While the isolated corridor movement is informative, it is not conclusive. A single 7-day change exceeding 1% indicates a weekly fluctuation but requires confirmation in the following week to be considered a trend.
What to watch next
For USD/GHS: compare providers before your next transfer, as this movement is significant enough to have altered relative provider value. For all other corridors this week, provider fees are a more substantial variable than rate timing.
