Safe-haven demand sends USD/CHF lower to test 0.9500

USD/CHF tanks as the Swiss Franc is one of the outperformers of the day.
The psychological 0.9500 level has just been used as a support level.

USD/CHF 4-hour chart

The Swiss Franc is one of the key outperformers on the session with USD/CHF falling 0.77% and AUD/CHF dropping 1.54%. The chart below shows the extent of the bearishness as the market continues to make lower high and lower lows. This move is very interesting as risk assets like equities are trading near or at all-time highs in the US.

The next target on the downside could be the 0.9450 level which has been used a few times in the past as support and resistance. At the current psychological level the price has bounced in the past and this is marked by the circle on the left and side of the chart.

The technical indicators are also oversold as the Relative Strength Index trades below the 30 area in the oversold zone. The MACD histogram is also in the red and the signal lines are extending their move lower.

EUR/USD holds losses near 1.1850 as US, China holidays keep trade muted

EUR/USD opens the week on a softer note, trading near 1.1860 during the Asian session on Monday. Activity is likely to remain muted, with United States markets closed for the Presidents’ Day holiday, while Mainland China is also shut for the week-long Lunar New Year break.

GBP/USD flat lines as traders await key UK macro data and FOMC minutes

The GBP/USD pair kicks off a new week on a subdued note and oscillates in a narrow range, just below mid-1.3600s, during the Asian session. Moreover, the mixed fundamental backdrop warrants some caution for aggressive traders as the market focus now shifts to this week's important releases from the UK and the US.

Gold remains below $5,050 despite Fed rate cut bets, uncertain geopolitical tensions

Gold edges lower after registering over 2% gains in the previous session, trading around $5,030 per troy ounce during the Asian hours on Monday. However, the non-interest-bearing Gold could further gain ground following softer January Consumer Price Index figures, which reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve could cut rates later this year.

Week ahead: Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

The US jobs report for January, which was delayed slightly, didn’t do the dovish Fed bets any favours, as expectations of a soft print did not materialize, confounding the raft of weak job indicators seen in the prior week.

Global inflation watch: Signs of cooling services inflation

Realized inflation landed close to expectations in January, as negative base effects weighed on the annual rates. Remaining sticky inflation is largely explained by services, while tariff-driven goods inflation remains limited even in the US.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
