Global markets: the dollar sets the cash tone
When the dollar firms globally, local cash rarely sits still. A short, calm read — no panic forecasts.

US and EU inflation prints, rate expectations and commodity prices shape the dollar’s tone. Ukraine’s cash market feels it with a lag, but the direction usually rhymes.
What clients should do
- Sharp overseas moves can widen spreads for a day or two.
- Prefer quieter hours over peak news spikes.
- For travel, keep a small float and exchange the bulk closer to departure.
