Overview** CNS Treasury provides daily market insights via email and in-platform dashboards. These tools help you monitor live FX rates, news, and economic calendars, so you can place orders strategically and manage exposure proactively. --- #### **2. Daily Market Snapshot** - **Email Summary** – Each morning you’ll receive an email with key FX market updates. - **Markets Overview Dashboard** – Log into CNS and go to **Dashboards → FX Market Overview** for: - Current spot rates and cross rates - 65-day and 7-year moving averages - Live news feed - Currency charts and cycle positioning **Tip:** Quickly scan for major market movements or unusual events. --- #### **3. Currency-Specific Dashboards** - Navigate to a specific pair (e.g., NZD/USD) for deeper charting. - Compare **short-term trends** (1-year daily view) with **long-term positioning** (5–7 year averages). - Use this to decide whether current rates are favourable relative to historic averages and policy. --- #### **4. Economic Calendar** - Check the **upcoming data releases** (e.g., CPI, retail sales, jobless claims, central bank rate announcements). - Anticipate potential volatility and decide whether to place **target orders** in advance. **Example:** If NZD/USD is near 0.59 and key U.S. data is due, an exporter might stagger orders at 0.5875, 0.5850, and 0.5800 to capture favourable moves if volatility occurs. --- #### **5. Reviewing Existing Orders** 1. Go to **View Reports** and run your **FX Blotter**. 2. Export for easier review. 3. Check: - Current order levels - Distance from spot (e.g., 6.3% away may be too far to be actionable) - Whether existing orders are adequately staggered across price levels If gaps exist, consider placing new orders. --- #### **6. Entering New Orders** - Navigate to **FX → View Data → Orders**. - Input desired order levels, currencies, and amounts. - Orders will then be tracked in CNS, and any fills automatically flow into your positions via trade capture. --- #### **7. Workflow Summary** 1. Review **daily email** and log into the **Markets Overview Dashboard**. 2. Scan for **current market levels, averages, and news**. 3. Check the **economic calendar** for upcoming events. 4. Review **existing orders** in the blotter. 5. Enter or adjust **new orders** as needed. This process ensures you are always positioned with market context, policy alignment, and forward-looking planning. --- #### **8.
