MarketsFN FX Desk
Evening wrap-up for Thursday 01 October 2026: as European markets close and the US session enters its final hours, G10 and emerging FX markets are closing with 12 pairs higher and 7 lower on the day. The standout movers are USD/ZAR (+1.16%), EUR/USD (-0.88%), USD/PLN (+0.66%). End-of-day flows — institutional rebalancing, month-end positioning and any late US data surprises — are the main drivers for tonight's Asian handoff.
This evening briefing includes the full day's economic calendar with all released actuals, final intraday pivot levels, and updated candlestick charts for all 19 pairs. Pivot levels will reset at tomorrow's EU open based on today's completed daily bars.
All pivot levels (R1 R2 R3 / S1 S2 S3) are computed from yesterday's full-session OHLC. Asian session key levels and carry trade dynamics are highlighted in each pair's analysis below.
