Comparable definitions help build an area-wide inflation measure, but the geographical scope still matters.

Economic indicator

An average can move because pay changes, the workforce mix changes, or both.

Japan’s business survey

A balance of business opinions is informative precisely because it asks a different question from output statistics.

Field guide

The decision and the surprise.

Why the same economic outcome can produce different market reactions.

Field guide

Carry is one component.

An interest-rate difference does not remove exposure to the exchange rate.

Field guide

One economy. More than one interest rate.

A policy rate, a bond yield and the shape of a yield curve answer different questions.

Field guide

A trade is not finished when the price is agreed.

Execution establishes the transaction. Settlement delivers the currencies.

Experiment

The expectation gap.

The same release can carry different information depending on what was expected.

Experiment

The revision bridge.

A new observation can arrive alongside a rewritten picture of the previous period.

Experiment

The quote mirror.

Turn an exchange rate around. The units reverse; the percentage change does not simply change sign.

Experiment

Inside the basket.

Move a component weight and see how a headline can hide very different price changes.

Experiment

Carry meets currency.

Put an interest return and an exchange-rate change into the same base-currency calculation.

Experiment

The alternative story

Start with an observed move and examine several possible explanations, including evidence that could challenge them.

Case study

The Swiss franc / January 2015

The end of the EUR/CHF minimum rate is a case in distinguishing a policy commitment, a quotation convention and an executable price.

Case study

Sterling / October 2016

The sterling flash event shows why the sequence, trading conditions and mechanism matter more than finding a single convenient cause.

Case study

The UK gilt market / 2022

A study in collateral, forced selling and why an asset purchase for financial stability is not the same statement as a change in the policy-rate outlook.
