The beginning of the month warrants a review of the seasonal patterns that have influenced forex markets over the past several years. For November, our focus is on the trailing 5-year and 10-year performances, both of which capture trading during the winddown of aggressive central bank intervention beginning with the 2008/2009 Global Financial Crisis – not dissimilar from the environment we find ourselves in now.

There remains the disclaimer for trusting seasonality data in 2022, however. This atypical environment has diminished the viability of using seasonality as a reliable guide for price action. Global supply chains are still in disarray – from energy to shipping as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s zero-COVID strategy – while developed economies are inching ever-closer towards stagflation.
