Headlines are shown for context. A headline on the same day is not proof that it caused the move.
This explains what the data shows. It is not a forecast or advice. Sources: Reference daily rates, State Bank of Pakistan, Publisher headlines (links go to the source), GDELT Project news index.
How this works
- Normal day: the move is compared with the median daily move of the previous 90 days, and ranked against the past year.
- Market part: dollar pairs are compared with EUR/USD as a dollar gauge. Rupee pairs use reference rates and SBP data. It is an estimate, not an exact split.
- Headlines: dated headlines from publishers that mention the asset, from about six hours before the day starts to six hours after it ends (UTC). Our own archive runs from 30 September 2026; older crypto, gold and rupee days use the GDELT news index where available.
- Free and Pro: free explains the last 30 days; Pro explains any day in the full history.
Education, not financial advice. A headline on the same day is not proof of cause.
