USD/CHF leans bearish towards 0.9550 on downbeat options market signals

Anil Panchal FXStreet

USD/CHF remains depressed around the intraday low, taking rounds to 0.9555 during the three-day downtrend to Tuesday’s Asian session. In doing so, the Swiss currency (CHF) pair traces options market signals while favoring bears.

That said, the one-month risk reversal (RR) of the USD/CHF, a spread between the calls and the puts, fails to extend the previously weekly rebound with the latest RR being -0.030.

In addition to the RR, the softer US dollar and the CHF’s safe-haven status also appear to weigh on the USD/CHF prices.

It’s worth noting that the US Dollar Index (DXY) stays pressured at around 103.95 after declining for the last two consecutive days.

The risk appetite, however, remains cautiously optimistic as the S&P 500 Futures print mild gains while the US 10-year Treasury yields probe a two-day rebound around 3.19% by the press time.

Looking forward, the US CB Consumer Confidence for June, prior 106.4, will be important for immediate direction.

EUR/USD remains offered below 1.1600, seems vulnerable near multi-month low

The EUR/USD pair struggles to capitalize on the overnight bounce from the 1.1530 region, or the lowest level since November 2025, and lower for the third consecutive day on Wednesday. Spot prices slide back below the 1.1600 mark during the Asian session and seem vulnerable to slide further.

GBP/USD slips below key averages as geopolitical risks mount

GBP/USD fell about 0.35% on Tuesday, settling around 1.3350 after slipping below the 200-day Exponential Moving Average for the first time since early December. The pair has pulled back sharply from its late-January high near 1.3870, shedding over 500 pips in a series of lower highs and lower lows.

Gold bounces back toward $5.200 amid sustained safe-haven flows

Gold bounces back toward $5,200 in Wednesday's Asian session, moving away from an over one-week low. Sustained safe-haven flows, amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, act as a tailwind for the bullion. However, a bullish US Dollar and reduced bets for more aggressive easing by the US Fed might keep a lid on the non-yielding yellow metal ahead of the US ADP report and ISM Services PMI data due later in the day.
