The Daily Brief
A quiet day, four small retreats, no single story
· as of 08:01 GST
Nothing dramatic today, just a quiet drift. The euro, the pound and the Swiss franc all eased back against a steady dirham, each sitting near the bottom of where it has traded over the past month. The Pakistani rupee did the same. No single thread ties them together — just four separate currencies losing a little ground.
What moved
The euro fell 0.13% over 24 hours to 4.1277 AED, near the bottom of its 30-day range against the dirham. The British pound slipped 0.11% to 4.8676 AED, also near the bottom of its own 30-day range. The Swiss franc eased 0.10% to 4.4081 AED, likewise sitting near the bottom of its range. The Pakistani rupee fell 0.10% to 0.013252 AED, the weakest it has been against the dirham in 30 days.
Corridor spotlight
Sending 1,000 AED to Nepal gets about 41,981 rupees today — about 185 rupees more than a week ago.

Crypto beat
Bitcoin fell 1.5% over the last 24 hours while Ethereum fell further, down 3.1%. Bitcoin's share of the total crypto market stands at 58.8%. Crypto trades around the clock and is volatile — these are 24-hour moves, not a trend. Separately, the Bank for International Settlements reported that the international supervisory community met to discuss the future of global bank supervision and regulation, a gathering that matters because the BIS coordinates central banks and monitors global monetary and FX conditions.
