Weekly Summary (Sept 7 to 14, 2026)

The past week saw moderate swings in the major currencies and renewed focus on the pace of the central bank base rate. If you keep an eye on your money day‑to‑day – whether in checking accounts, investments, or online purchases – it’s worth understanding what happened and how it might affect your decisions.

1. Dollar and Euro: Weekly Trend

• Dollar (USD/local): $1.02 – The local currency gained a little strength against the dollar. On Monday the rate was around $1.03 and gradually fell throughout the week to close at $1.02. The dip was driven by U.S. inflation data that came in slightly below expectations and a more “friendly” interest‑rate environment in the United States. For anyone with dollar‑denominated debt or who plans to buy imported goods, the good news is that the price became a bit cheaper.

• Euro (EUR/local): $1.19 – The euro also slipped, but at a slower pace. It started the week near $1.20 and ended at $1.19. The smaller move reflects the fact that the eurozone is still dealing with higher inflation pressures, keeping the euro more expensive than the dollar. If you hold funds that buy European assets, the return may be a touch lower because of the currency’s depreciation.

In short: both the dollar and the euro closed the week lower, which is usually a relief for people who buy imported products or carry foreign‑currency debt.

2. Central Bank Base Rate: Where We Stand and What It Means

The basic interest rate – the central bank base rate – remained at 13.75% per year, as decided by the Monetary Policy Committee in its latest meeting. The committee kept the rate steady because it still sees a risk of inflation above target, but signaled that the next meeting could bring a more cautious adjustment.

Impact on investments:

• Fixed income: Instruments like government bonds and certificates of deposit (CDs) that pay close to the central bank base rate remain attractive for those seeking safety. They earn almost “at the same speed” as the rate, so the stability of the base rate guarantees predictable returns.
• Equities: A stable rate helps reduce volatility in the stock market, especially for consumer and retail companies that usually enjoy lower financing costs when the base rate doesn’t rise.
• Exchange rate: When the base rate is high, the local currency tends to appreciate because it attracts foreign capital seeking yield. Since the rate stayed steady, the local currency may lose a bit of strength – which explains the modest drop in the dollar and euro.

3. Practical Tip for Individual Investors

Use FinMoovi to monitor your assets in different currencies.

If you have investments in stocks, international funds, or even a dollar‑denominated savings account, FinMoovi lets you track everything in one place, automatically converting to the currency you choose. This makes it easy to see real performance without doing the math manually.

Also, take advantage of the dollar’s dip to re‑evaluate foreign‑currency debt: if you have any loan or credit‑card balance denominated in a foreign currency, it’s worth paying down a bit now before the rate climbs again.

4. What to Expect Next Week

• U.S. interest‑rate outlook: The Federal Reserve is expected to release its next statement on Wednesday. If there’s a hint of a rate cut or a pause in hikes, the dollar could keep falling, benefiting those who buy imported goods.
• Eurozone inflation data: Consumer‑price index figures will be released on Tuesday and could move the euro. If inflation shows a decline, the euro may follow the dollar’s path.
• Monetary Policy Committee decision: The committee’s meeting is scheduled for the end of the week. While the expectation is to keep the central bank base rate unchanged, any unexpected tweak (even a tiny one) could spark reactions in fixed‑income markets and exchange rates.

Keep an eye on the indicators, and if you need help organizing your finances, remember that FinMoovi is there to simplify tracking your investments, whether in local currency, dollar, or euro.

Until next week – happy investing!
