Everything you need to know about presidential remarks and FX markets.
What is M6E Micro EUR/USD Futures? ▾
M6E is the CME Group's Micro EUR/USD futures contract — one-tenth the size of the standard 6E contract. It tracks the euro vs. the U.S. dollar and is highly sensitive to U.S. policy statements, Fed decisions, and White House economic remarks.
Why do presidential statements move FX markets? ▾
Currency markets price future interest rate expectations and trade policy outlook. When a president signals lower rates, a weaker dollar, or new tariffs, traders immediately reprice the probability of those outcomes — causing instant moves in EUR/USD.
How is the "48-hour move" calculated? ▾
We record the M6E closing price on the day of the remark, then compare it to the closing price 48 trading hours later. The percentage change and absolute price delta are both shown for each event.
Is this financial advice? ▾
No. White House Quotes is a purely educational and informational tool. Nothing on this site constitutes investment or trading advice. Past market reactions to presidential statements do not guarantee future results.
Where does the price data come from? ▾
Live and historical price data is sourced from Yahoo Finance. M6E EUR/USD uses M6E=F (Micro EUR/USD Futures, front-month auto-roll). MES S&P 500 uses MES=F (Micro E-mini S&P 500, front-month). Both automatically display the active quarterly contract (Mar/Jun/Sep/Dec). Data is cached for performance.
