Euro falls to 17-month low against the USD on French debt concerns

The euro has stumbled to a 17-month low against the US dollar on concern about France's ability to bring its public finances in order.  The currency has fallen nearly 7% from its peak in late January.  Meanwhile, global oil prices fell despite ongoing tensions around the Arabian Peninsula, after the G7 agreed to release up to 100 million barrels from strategic reserves and oil flows from the Persian Gulf have returned to pre-war levels.

Syria | Joint Market Monitoring Initiative (JMMI) Market Overview | September 2026

Country: Syrian Arab Republic Source: REACH Initiative Please refer to the attached file. KEY FINDINGS • In August 2026, the national median cost of the Survival Minimum Expenditure Basket (SMEB) increased by 7% compared to May 2026, reaching USD 173. Increases in USD were observed across all assessed regions, with the largest rise recorded in Northeastern Syria (NES) (+13%), followed by Northwestern Syria (NWS) (+12%) and Central-Southern Syria (CSS) (+6%), indicating a continued increase in the minimum cost of meeting basic household needs. • The Syrian pound (SYP) strengthened modestly against the US dollar between May and August 2026, appreciating by around 1% nationally and 2% in both NES and CSS region. However, despite the improved exchange rate, the cost of the Survival Minimum Expenditure Basket (SMEB) increased across all SYP-denominated areas, indicating that inflation in essential goods and services outweighed currency gains. In Northwest Syria (NWS), where the Turkish lira (TRY) is widely used, the currency depreciated by 6% against the US dollar, adding further pressure on household purchasing power. • In August 2026, the national food component of the SMEB rose by 9%, reaching USD 127. Increases were recorded in every region, from 9% in CSS to 17% in NES. The rise was driven mainly by protein prices (chicken +44.1%, eggs +27.7%), which outweighed a seasonal drop in vegetable prices (-39.1%). • In August 2026, the cost of the SMEB cooking-fuel component increased across most assessed regions. At the national level, the median cost of refilling a 24 kg LPG cylinder (about 15 litres) increased by 6% in SYP, while the largest increase in local currency terms was recorded in NWS (+12%), where the cost rose from 479 TRY to 538 TRY. When expressed in USD, increases were less pronounced, with the cooking-fuel component rising by 8% nationally and slighlty more in NES (+10%) and CSS (+9%). • Transportation fuel prices increased sharply between May and August 2026 across both formal and informal markets, with petrol prices rising by 25% and diesel prices increasing by 18% to 22%. These substantial fuel cost increases likely contributed to higher transportation and commodity prices, adding upward pressure on overall SMEB costs. With fuel price policy changes implemented just after this assessment's data collection, fuel prices mentioned here should be treated as subject to increase. • Market functionality remained constrained in August 2026, with affordability the binding constraint. Of the 110 assessed subdistricts, 30 (27%) could not be classified, in each case for lack of data on secure storage access. Among the 80 classified sub-districts, 69 (86%) showed reduced (41) or stressed (28) functionality, 9 were dysfunctional and 2 fully functional. Affordability fell below threshold in 77 (96%) — in 40 cases the only constrained dimension — while availability was not constrained anywhere.

Binance Brings 24/7 FX Perpetuals To Crypto Traders With USD/BRL

TL;DR Binance Futures has launched a 24/7 perpetual contract tied to the USD/BRL foreign-exchange rate. USD/BRL is the first pair in the new FX-perpetual product line. The product gives synthetic leveraged FX exposure through a crypto derivatives venue; it is not spot foreign-exchange settlement. Binance is moving another traditional market into the always-on crypto trading model. The exchange has launched 24/7 foreign-exchange perpetuals, beginning with a contract tied to the US dollar and Brazilian real. USD/BRL Is The First Pair The initial contract gives traders continuous synthetic exposure to the USD/BRL exchange rate using the perpetual-futures format already familiar across crypto markets. That removes the conventional weekend and overnight boundaries associated with many FX venues. For crypto-native traders, the product also means foreign-exchange exposure can sit alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum and other derivatives inside the same collateral and risk-management environment. The launch pair is USD/BRL. Binance has indicated that additional FX contracts are expected, but the September 21 rollout should not be read as the simultaneous launch of every major currency pair. Crypto Exchanges Keep Expanding Into TradFi Markets The broader trend is becoming difficult to miss. Major crypto derivatives venues are no longer limiting themselves to crypto assets. Equity-linked perpetuals, pre-IPO contracts and now foreign-exchange products are increasingly being offered through the same 24/7 infrastructure. That creates a different trading experience from the underlying markets. A perpetual contract provides price exposure, but it does not mean the trader is receiving or delivering physical currency. The USD/BRL launch is therefore less about Binance becoming a conventional FX bank and more about crypto-style derivatives becoming a wrapper for a wider range of financial prices.

USD/JPY Rally from 155.00 Sets the Stage for Ueda

A 25 bp hike from the BoJ is priced-in for the upcoming rate decision, so perhaps the bigger question is what else the BoJ might have in store. In Scott Bessent's comments a week ago he seemed to insinuate that the BoJ would have something more to say, and that sent USD/JPY down for a test of the lows at the time but sellers couldn't run with a break. Since then, there's been a continued build of higher-lows and after initial resistance at 155.00, bulls used that spot for support around the start of yesterday's rate decision from the Fed. At this point, holding longs can be daunting above the 160.00 level that was sold hard two weeks ago, but unless something shifts or changes, there could still be motive for bulls to bid dips. Motivation for the BoJ should be high as oil prices combined with Yen weakness and surging Japanese yields make for a difficult backdrop given Japan's debt to GDP ratio of more than 200%. - JS
