Why are the cards labeled “Positive (USD)” or “Negative (USD)”?
The label shows which currency in the pair is being affected and how.
For example:
- Positive (USD) → the news strengthens the U.S. dollar
- Negative (USD) → the news weakens the U.S. dollar
Since currency pairs move relative to each other:
- Positive (USD) → bearish pressure on EUR/USD, GBP/USD, XAU/USD, etc.
- Negative (USD) → bullish pressure on the same pairs
This makes it easy to interpret cross-pair implications at a glance.
