USD/CHF finds support near 0.9800 before SNB's Quarterly Bulletin

The USD/CHF pair dropped to its lowest level since late August at 0.9798 on Wednesday but staged a technical recovery in the last hour. As of writing, the pair was up 0.05% on the day at 0.9808.

After major Asian equity indexes closed the day in the negative territory on Wednesday, European stocks struggled to gain traction to reveal a sour market mood, which benefits the safe-haven CHF. Additionally, the 10-year US Treasury bond yield is down 0.6% on the day to confirm the risk-off atmosphere. The lack of fresh developments surrounding the US-China trade deal seems to be forcing investors to book their profits following the risk rally.

Attention shifts to SNB publication

Later in the day, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) will release its Quarterly Bulletin that includes the monetary policy report. The bank is likely to reiterate its willingness to interfere in the FX markets with an aim to curb CHF's strength. In an interview with Blick on Wednesday, SNB Chairman Jordan explained that although there was no need tor an additional rate cut at the moment, the bank wouldn't hesitate to act to further deepen negative rates if CHF were to appreciate strongly.

On the other hand, the US Dollar Index is adding 0.2% on the day at 97.38 ahead of the American session to help the pair limit its losses. There won't be any significant macroeconomic data releases from the US in the second half of the day and the market sentiment is likely to continue to drive the pair's action.

Gold defends 200-day SMA, rises toward $4,500

Gold is attempting a tepid recovery toward $4,500 on Thursday, as renewed optimism in the Mideast geopolitical front calms market nerves.

Kevin Warsh takes the Fed helm: What it means for the US Dollar

The Federal Reserve moves away from the highly predictable "forward guidance" model of the Jerome Powell era to a new “Kevin Warsh environment”, characterized by less communication, more policy surprises, and an increased focus on the Fed's complex balance sheet.

Recession on paper: What really moves the Canadian Loonie now?

Statistics Canada handed the headline writers a gift and the analysts a headache. Real GDP shrank 0.1% on an annualized basis in the first quarter, and with the fourth quarter of 2025 revised down to a 1.0% contraction, that is two negative quarters in a row, the textbook definition of a technical recession and Canada's first since the pandemic.
