The USD/CHF extends its gains for four days in a row, advancing firmly towards the 0.9400 figure, up 0.26%, trading at 0.9356 during the New York session at the time of writing. A risk-off market mood maintains safe-haven currencies firmly bid, except for the Swiss franc and the Japanese yen, posting losses against the buck.

In the meantime, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the greenback’s performance against a basket of its peers, advances 0.43%, sitting at 96.90.

USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook

The USD/CHF has an upward bias in the daily chart, as shown by the daily moving averages (DMA’s) with an upslope, residing well beneath the spot price. Also, Wednesday’s break of an eight-month-old downslope resistance trendline indicates that the USD/CHF is firmly heading towards the 2021 year-to-date high at 0.9473.

The first resistance on the way north would be the psychological 0.9400 figure. A breach of the former would expose the April 1 swing high at 0.9473, followed by the June 29, 2020 cycle high at 0.9528.

On the flip side, failure to break over the abovementioned would expose the 0.9300 figure. A break below that level would reveal the confluence of the 50-DMA and the November 19 swing low around the 0.9225-50 region, which once gave way, it would leave the 0.9200 as the last line of defense for USD bulls.

GBP/USD drops to multi-week lows below 1.3300

GBP/USD sets aside Friday’s uptick and breaches below the 1.3300 yardstcik on Monday to hit new multi-week troughs. Falling crude oil prices following a pause in the Middle East conflict in combination with the recent soft reading in UK inflation appear to play against any BoE tightening ahead of the bank’s event later in the week.

Gold eyes $4,050 on bullish USD as traders look to FOMC policy meeting

Gold slides back closer to $4,050 during the Asian session on Tuesday amid a bullish US Dollar. The downside seems limited as traders might opt to wait for the outcome of a two-day FOMC policy meeting on Wednesday. Furthermore, a pause in US-Iran hostilities led to a slump in crude oil prices, easing inflationary concerns and tempering bets for Fed rate hikes. This holds back the USD bulls from placing aggressive bets and should act as a tailwind for the non-yielding bullion.

Neither Hormuz nor Oil at $120: Why Japanese bond yields are the real market threat

While geopolitical headlines continually send traders rushing to the Oil charts, history shows that the biggest market moves often begin when liquidity disappears, not when crude spikes. Rising bond yields, particularly in Japan and Switzerland, threaten to trigger the unwinding of one of the largest leveraged trades in financial history.

US Dollar mid-year outlook: Exceptional currency, exceptional risks?
