MarketsFN FX Desk
Evening wrap-up for Friday 09 October 2026: as European markets close and the US session enters its final hours, G10 and emerging FX markets are closing with 15 pairs higher and 4 lower on the day. The standout movers are AUD/JPY (+0.58%), USD/TRY (+0.54%), USD/PLN (+0.51%). 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.

| 49.345 | 49.280 | 49.177 | 49.009 | 48.944 | 48.841 |
End-of-day snapshot for USD/TRY: closing at 49.340 (+0.54% on the day), just 0.00% below its 52-week high of 49.342. Today's full-session range of 49.039–49.342 (0.303 points). The daily close above the pivot (49.112) signals bullish continuation into tomorrow's Asian open.
For tomorrow's Asian open, the key pivot reference levels remain: R1 49.177 / R2 49.280 / R3 49.345 on the upside and S1 49.009 / S2 48.944 / S3 48.841 on the downside. Asian session liquidity is typically thinner, so gaps through pivot levels should be monitored carefully.
USD/TRY finishes the day the trend is intact; bulls will target a break above the annual high on the next catalyst. The 52-week range of 41.638–49.342 places the pair at the 100th percentile. Key overnight risk: Asian economic data and any after-hours US developments that could reprice the USD complex before London re-opens.
