What was reported
Friday's currency and oil reports reflected volatile sentiment tied to energy disruption and interest rates as markets headed into the weekend.
Why it matters
Most interbank forex activity closes for the weekend, while geopolitical developments can continue. When quotes resume, a price jump may skip orders or widen spreads; a Friday close is not a guarantee of Monday execution.
What to watch
Check your platform's trading hours and avoid presenting a Friday Reuters print as a live Sunday quote.
