What mattered

An isolated corridor move like this is informative but not conclusive. A single 7-day move above 1% crosses the threshold for a weekly fluctuation but needs confirmation over the following week before it can be called a trend.

What to watch next

For USD/GHS: compare providers before your next transfer โ€” the move is large enough to have shifted relative provider value. For all other corridors this week, provider fees are a larger variable than rate timing.
