Swiss Franc: Testing key resistance band against Euro – Societe Generale

Societe Generale’s Kenneth Broux and colleagues note that EUR/CHF has formed a higher low near 0.9090 versus March’s 0.8980, signalling reduced downside momentum as the cross approaches its 200‑day moving average and a multi‑year descending trendline around 0.9240/0.9265. They stress that repeated failures at this zone make a sustained break crucial, with 0.9090 identified as key support.

Cross nears multi‑year trend barrier

"EUR/CHF carved out a higher low around 0.9090, than the one achieved in March near 0.8980 highlighting early signals of reduction in downward momentum."

"It is approaching both its 200-DMA and a multi-year descending trendline around 0.9240/0.9265."

"Previous bounce attempts have stalled near this MA, making it important to assess whether EUR/CHF can establish above this zone."

"Failure to cross 0.9240/0.9265 could result in continuation of the decline. The recent pivot low of 0.9090 is a crucial support."

AUD/USD meets support near 0.7150

AUD/USD comes under renewed and quite strong selling pressure ahead of the Asia opening bell on Friday, drifting back toward multi-day troughs near 0.7150, where it seems to have met some decent contention for now. The Aussie’s decline follows the inflation-reignited uptick in the Greenback in response to robust US factory-gate prices in August.


USD/JPY consolidates around 153.50 as bears turn cautious ahead of US inflation

USD/JPY stabilizes above 153.50 during the Asian session on Thursday, but remains near a seven-month low set earlier this week as hawkish BoJ repricing continues to underpin the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, rising September Fed rate-hike bets and escalating US-Iran tensions help ease US Dollar selling pressure, offering some support to the currency pair ahead of US inflation figures.

Gold remains weak, retargets $4,350

Gold keeps the choppy price action on Thursday, now slipping back toward the $4,350 region per troy ounce amid the robust bounce in the US Dollar as well as rising US Treasury yields across the curve, particularly following US Producer Prices and ahead of Friday’s more relevant US CPI data.

Bitcoin and Gold Outlook: BTC and XAU drop as US PPI broadens rate-hike bets
Cryptocurrency prices are broadly correcting, led by Bitcoin (BTC), which is trading around $77,000 on Thursday, marking four consecutive days of declines. Meanwhile, Gold (XAU) remains sideways, hovering around $4,365, with upside capped below $4,400.
ECB recap: A hawkish hike despite downside growth risks
The European Central Bank (ECB) increased the Deposit Facility Rate to 2.50%, the Refinancing Rate to 2.65% and the Marginal Lending Facility to 2.90%, effective from September 16. The decision was accompanied by a clear warning that the outlook remains highly uncertain, with risks tilted to the upside for inflation and to the downside for growth.
Venezuela’s 65-billion-barrel Oil deal could reshape America’s inflation fight
The United States (US) has secured unprecedented access to part of Venezuela’s vast Oil reserves. The timing is particularly significant as the war with Iran is disrupting Middle Eastern supplies, keeping energy prices elevated and reviving concerns about inflation.
