Dollar softness widens the gap between euro and sterling
Major FX pairs are diverging again as readers expect context, not just quotes. Embed a compare chart and headline markers directly inside your story.
When two currencies share the same catalyst but move differently, a single price chart is not enough. Index both series to 100 at the start of the window and let readers see relative strength at a glance — without leaving the article.

“Charts should explain the paragraph above them, not compete with it.”
The compare block above uses the same EUR/USD and GBP/USD hourly bundles that power the FX Opportunity Radar demo. Swap the JSON for your CMS feed when you are ready.
When news hits, show it on the chart
Macro desks still publish headlines — the difference is whether price context travels with the story. Map your news API into NewsFeedRecord[], add the NEWSFEED indicator, and let readers click a release to see the move.

This pattern keeps the chart footprint small: no trading toolbar, no order ticket — just the canvas, your caption, and optional callout UI you control.
