The dollar lost ground to 5 of the 9 developed-market currencies we track (crosses such as EURJPY carry no dollar leg and are excluded). The largest move was in USDJPY, -0.86%, leaving the JPY stronger against the dollar. Realised volatility is middling by the majors' own standards: half of them sit below the 54th percentile of their past year, and half above.

EURJPY -0.85%, 1.6σ of its 20D RV — the session's largest risk-adjusted move.
The Δ2Y differential explains little of the cross-section (R² 0.00, n 8, 03 Sep–04 Sep). USDJPY is the widest Δ-model residual at 1.70pp — a different quantity from the fair-value residual z in the levels table.
Sep-2026 (16 Sep) priced 38% hold / 62% hike, implied 3.785%.

Δspot vs Δ2Y differential · 03 Sep–04 Sep — not this session · 03 Sep–04 Sep; the rate legs publish after the spot close, so this is the most recent window in which the differential actually moved — not 07 Sep.

Move / σ = session move over the pair's own 20D RV, de-annualised. FV gap and FV residual z are the fair-value model's, on the level of the 2Y differential — not the Δ-model residual named in the bullets above, which is a different quantity and ranks different pairs. Crosses are derived from their USD legs, so the triangle closes. The 1-day column spans 3 calendar days across the weekend.

3M hedge, CIP-implied · sorted by forward premium (quote − base), most negative first

CIP-implied from each leg's benchmark and the spot close; excludes the cross-currency basis and is not a dealable quote. Sign convention: the column is (forward / spot - 1) annualised = quote rate - base rate. Positive means the quote currency carries the higher short rate, so a holder of the base hedging into the quote earns it and a holder of the quote hedging into the base pays it. Which of those two readers you are decides whether a row is a cost or a pickup; the number does not change. Only USD, EUR and GBP have daily short-rate benchmarks; the other legs come from a monthly series and carry its lag, shown per row and flagged amber past 45 days. Rows whose oldest leg exceeds 95 days are not shown at all. * = tenor beyond the benchmark it is priced off. Not priced — USDCHF: CHF rate leg last observed 2026-06-01 (98d old, budget 95d) — a forward priced off it is not a current hedging cost; AUDUSD: AUD rate leg last observed 2026-06-01 (98d old, budget 95d) — a forward priced off it is not a current hedging cost; NZDUSD: NZD rate leg last observed 2026-06-01 (98d old, budget 95d) — a forward priced off it is not a current hedging cost; USDCAD: CAD rate leg last observed 2026-06-01 (98d old, budget 95d) — a forward priced off it is not a current hedging cost; USDNOK: NOK rate leg last observed 2026-06-01 (98d old, budget 95d) — a forward priced off it is not a current hedging cost; USDSEK: SEK rate leg last observed 2026-06-01 (98d old, budget 95d) — a forward priced off it is not a current hedging cost.

EM levels and risk

Pairs with no daily-close coverage are in the omissions, not carried as blank rows. Move / σ is not shown for USDCNY: realized volatility below 2% annualised means the rate is managed, so a move in its own sigma is an artefact rather than a signal. The rate-model columns are omitted here: none of these pairs has a sovereign-yield source in our chain, so there is no fair value or 2Y differential to show.
