March 17, 2026 - March 18, 2026, 'No change' experienced a brief V-shaped reversal, dropping to 58c before rebounding. The reason was a momentary 'recession panic' triggered by terrible NFP data, betting on emergency cuts, before being pulled back by inflation reality.
March 11, 2026 - March 12, 2026, 'No change' rose from 53c to 62c, driven by hotter-than-expected CPI data and an oil price spike due to geopolitics.
