News tone = balance of positive and negative wording in the theme’s headlines over the last 48 hours; it describes the news flow, not the price, and is not a forecast. Price changes: 1D = since the previous trading session’s close, 1M = over the past month. Quotes as of 2026-09-11 · indicative, may be delayed.
Big US releases in South African time
US consumer price index data at 8:30 New York time lands at 14:30 SAST in the northern summer and 15:30 SAST in the northern winter. Federal Open Market Committee decisions at 14:00 New York time land at 20:00 or 21:00 SAST. Spreads can widen around these releases.
