High Accuracy in FX Forecasting: A New Era for Risk Management and Cost Control.

By Purity Karambu

The common pulse

In the volatile world of foreign exchange, precision isn’t just a competitive advantage it’s a necessity. With the rise of AI-driven forecasting systems, businesses now have tools that can predict FX exposures with over 90% accuracy, a development that could reshape global treasury operations.

Why Accuracy Matters in FX

Foreign exchange fluctuations can have a profound impact on multinational corporations, SMEs engaged in global trade, and even financial institutions. Traditional forecasting methods often reliant on historical data and static models fall short in fast-changing markets. The result is costly hedging miscalculations and liquidity inefficiencies.

By contrast, AI models like time-series transformers leverage vast streams of data in real time, adapting to sudden shifts in market sentiment, macroeconomic shocks, and liquidity conditions.

The 90%+ Accuracy Breakthrough

The integrated system pioneered by Ant International and Standard Chartered demonstrates:

Over 90% accuracy in forecasting FX exposures at hourly, daily, and weekly intervals.
Continuous 24/7 operations, ensuring businesses don’t miss crucial opportunities in global time zones.
Integration with execution engines, meaning forecasts translate immediately into smarter, automated trades.

This level of reliability significantly reduces hedging costs and improves confidence in liquidity strategies.

Risk Management Reinvented

High accuracy transforms risk management in three critical ways:

Reduced Uncertainty – Businesses can plan with greater confidence, minimizing “unexpected losses” from market swings.
Smarter Hedging – With precise forecasts, companies avoid over-hedging (tying up too much liquidity) or under-hedging (leaving exposures vulnerable).
Improved Governance – Treasury teams can present data-driven strategies to boards and regulators, enhancing transparency and compliance.

Cost Control and Efficiency

The financial impact is just as powerful:

Up to 60% reduction in FX costs
Up to 50% reduction in liquidity management costs
Faster settlement across multiple currencies

With high accuracy, companies can allocate capital more efficiently, freeing resources for growth rather than firefighting currency risks.

The Bigger Picture

This breakthrough isn’t just about tech it signals a broader shift in finance. As AI models evolve, treasury and risk management are moving from reactive to proactive, where predictive accuracy is the foundation of resilience and competitiveness.

In a global economy increasingly shaped by uncertainty, having a system that predicts FX exposures with 90%+ accuracy isn’t just an upgrade it’s a revolution.

Utah Man, 22, Charged in Killing of Conservative Activist Charlie Kirk

By Kiranagacha Mwaniki - The Common Pulse - Orem, Utah ; September 13, 2025 The bustling quad of Utah Valley University was supposed to be a stage for debate and free expression. Instead, it became the scene of political violence that has shocked the nation. Charlie Kirk, 31, a conservative activist and co-founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot on September 10 while addressing students at a “Prove Me Wrong” debate. Authorities say the shots came from a nearby rooftop, fired by a young man who had quietly prepared for weeks. On Friday, Utah County officials announced that Tyler James Robinson, 22 , had been taken into custody and charged in connection with Kirk’s killing. He is being held without bail at the Utah County Jail. From Apprentice to Accused Killer Robinson grew up in Washington County, Utah, in what neighbors describe as a quiet household.

No Exit: Biya’s Return, Democracy’s Decline

By Kirangacha Mwaniki The Common Pulse | August 2025 At 92 years old, Cameroonian President Paul Biya has signaled his intention to run for yet another term in the 2025 presidential election. Having ruled since 1982, Biya is now the second-longest-serving head of state in the world; after Equatorial Guinea’s Teodoro Obiang. His decision has sparked outrage, resignation, and confusion among Cameroonians, many of whom have never known another leader. This re-election bid is more than just a political event; it is a glaring symptom of a system that has resisted reform, ignored generational change, and weaponized fear to maintain the status quo. The Man Who Time Forgot Paul Biya came to power before most Cameroonians were born. He has led through the Cold War, the rise of mobile phones, the internet revolution, and the African Continental Free Trade Area — all while aging behind the walls of Etoudi Palace. He is rarely seen in public, often ruling from abroad; mostly Swit...
