FX Evening Briefing — Fri 23 Oct 2026: USD/PLN Closes Higher 0.68% — Asian Session Preview

Evening wrap-up for Friday 23 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/PLN (+0.68%), USD/ZAR (+0.63%), USD/CHF (+0.59%). 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.

End-of-day snapshot for EUR/USD: closing at 1.1194 (-0.18% on the day), just 0.73% above its 52-week floor at 1.1112. Today's full-session range of 1.1184–1.1226 (0.0042 points). The daily close below the pivot (1.1219) signals bearish momentum into tomorrow's Asian open.

End-of-day snapshot for NOK/SEK: closing at 1.0632 (+0.23% on the day), just 0.07% below its 52-week high of 1.0640. Today's full-session range of 1.0558–1.0640 (0.0082 points). The daily close above the pivot (1.0568) signals bullish continuation into tomorrow's Asian open.

For tomorrow's Asian open, the key pivot reference levels remain: R1 1.0658 / R2 1.0709 / R3 1.0800 on the upside and S1 1.0517 / S2 1.0426 / S3 1.0376 on the downside. Asian session liquidity is typically thinner, so gaps through pivot levels should be monitored carefully.

NOK/SEK 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 0.9064–1.0640 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.
