The EUR/CHF dipped to a new low for the week at 0.9623 in early Friday trading before markets saw a broad-base tilt back into risk-on mode, pushing risk assets higher and sending safe havens lower to round out the week's trading.

Pan-EU finalized Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) for October came in broadly as expected early Friday, with the month-on-month figure printing at 0.1% and the annualized period into October showing 2.9%.

As inflation cools in the European economy, the outlook for the Euro is leaning towards the downside as an increasingly-dovish European Central Bank (ECB) gets pushed even further away from its hawkish stance.

EUR/CHF Technical Outlook

The Euro's Friday kicker against the Swiss Franc has the pair trading into the week's high side, climbing over the 0.9660 level in the last hour of market trading.

The EUR/CHF has been cycling the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) ever since hitting consolidation back in August, cycling 0.9525 to 0.9600.

The Euro tumbled to a yearly low 0.9417 in October before rallying over 2.6% to Friday's closing bids, but near-term bullish momentum is going to be capped off by the 200-day SMA sinking into 0.9700.

Editor's Picks

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.
