How to read it
- Count the steps, not the basis points. A bank that has moved three times in one direction is in a cycle.
- Rate differentials between two economies are what carry trades and currency futures respond to. Pair this page with the COT currency markets.
- The last-change date tells you how long a bank has held; a long pause after a run of moves means the bank is waiting.
