Timely, actionable intelligence to support your trading and risk decisions
Over the past two weeks, Nepal has been caught in a fresh wave of political instability, injecting significant uncertainty into its financial markets. Market participants have had to navigate rapidly shifting directives, with trading and settlement availability changing abruptly and frequently.
Authorities initially imposed day-by-day closures, which soon escalated to weekly shutdowns—only to be reversed, then reversed again.
To further complicate matters, trading and settlement schedules were not aligned. Trading remained halted for multiple days, while settlement systems operated sporadically.
While Nepal’s market represents a small portion of global trading, every trade matters and at Swaps Monitor, we understand that.
We’re committed to delivering timely, accurate, and actionable information—no matter the market or situation. Our clients can rely on us to stay ahead of the curve, ensuring they’re equipped to make informed decisions, even amid the most volatile conditions.
In times of uncertainty, one thing is certain: we’re on top of it.

As Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell prepares to speak at the upcoming Jackson Hole Symposium on Friday, August 22, 2025, at 10:00 AM, bond traders are bracing for a pivotal moment that could shape monetary policy expectations for the remainder of the year.
This appearance follows a hotter-than-expected inflation report on Tuesday, August 12, 2025 – Announcement Day.
Now, all eyes turn to Powell’s speech, which could either reassure markets that the Fed remains on track to ease policy—or signal a more cautious stance, potentially delaying rate cuts well into 2026. Either outcome could result in sharp moves across rates markets, making this a high-stakes event for fixed income professionals.
💡Why This Appearance Matters
The Jackson Hole Symposium has a long history of producing major policy signals. Powell’s remarks will be closely scrutinized for any hints on how the Fed is weighing persistent inflation pressure against the broader economic outlook. For many market participants, this may be the most important communication from the Fed between now and the next FOMC meeting on September 17, 2025, followed by Powell’s 2:30 PM press conference the same day.
✅Stay Ahead with Swaps Monitor
At Swaps Monitor, we track all Federal Reserve Board – Chair’s Public Appearances so our customers can stay ahead of key market-moving events. In fast-moving environments like this one, timing is everything—and knowing when Powell will speak can make the difference between leading the market and chasing it.
✅Upcoming Key Appearances:
🔹Jackson Hole Symposium – Fri, August 22, 2025 at 10:00 AM
🔹FOMC Press Conference – Wed, September 17, 2025 at 2:30 PM
As the Fed’s path remains uncertain, so does the direction of interest rates. But with timely updates and accurate scheduling of official appearances, Swaps Monitor helps you stay positioned to respond—not react.
⭐In Addition…
We also track inflation reports and key economic events, such as U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index (CPI) announcement days.
The August 2025 MSCI reconstitution is fast approaching — and for investors, traders, and institutions, timing is everything.
Market participants are watching closely for potential inclusions and exclusions, as these moves can trigger significant momentum in the affected stocks.
🔍 What is Index Reconstitution? Index reconstitution is the process of reviewing and updating an index’s list of securities — adding those that meet inclusion criteria and removing those that no longer qualify. For MSCI, these changes can shift billions in capital and reshape market momentum overnight.
📆 Key Date: Tuesday, August 26, 2025 – MSCI Reconstitution changes take effect.
These aren’t just dates on a calendar — they are strategic moments when capital flows shift and market opportunities emerge.
At Swaps Monitor, we ensure you’re always aware of MSCI reconstitution schedules so you can act proactively rather than react too late.

One of the core challenges in FX trading is knowing exactly when a currency is on holiday — and it’s not always as simple as checking a public calendar.
💡 That’s where we come in.
Swaps Monitor provides precise, market-recognized currency holiday data, helping FX traders, operations teams, and systems avoid costly errors due to misinterpreted holidays.
Take the Australian Dollar (AUD) for example:
🔹 The AUD market is only considered closed when Sydney banks are closed.
🔹 Holidays in other Australian states (like Victoria or Queensland) do not impact AUD FX settlement.
🔹 For instance, August 13, 2025 is a holiday in some parts of Australia — but not an AUD currency holiday, as Sydney banks remain open.
✅ With Swaps Monitor, you get:
🔹 Trusted, up-to-date holiday data for all tradable currencies
🔹 Clarity on when each currency market is open or closed
🔹 Reduced risk of trade failures and incorrect value dates
Whether you’re pricing swaps, scheduling settlements, or running post-trade processes, Swaps Monitor ensures you always know the correct market status — no guesswork, no assumptions.
In FX, certainty matters. Swaps Monitor delivers it.
