USD/CHF Price Analysis: Bulls reclaim 0.9400 and print a fresh monthly high around 0.9433

  • The USD/CHF reaches a fresh monthly high at 0.9433.
  • The greenback got boosted by an upbeat market mood, high US Treasury yields
  • USD/CHF Price Forecast: The rise above 0.9400 opens the door for further upside.

USD/CHF is rallying during the North American session, courtesy of a mixed market sentiment portrayed by US equities fluctuating, US Treasury yields paring Wednesday’s losses, and the greenback strengthened across the board. The USD/CHF is trading at 0.9415, a 90-pip gain on Thursday at the time of writing.

In the meantime, US Treasury yields surged, as shown by the 10-year benchmark note up 17 bps, sitting at 2.804%, underpinning the buck. The US Dollar Index, a measurement of the greenback’s value vs. a basket of six peers, edges up 0.51%, currently at 100.356.

Aside from this, during the Asian session, the USD/CHF was subdued in the 0.9330-50 region, unable to trade beyond those boundaries. Nevertheless, early as the North American session began, the USD/CHF firstly jumped towards March 28 0.9380 cycle high and then breached the 0.9400 mark for the first time since March 17.

USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook

The USD/CHF rise above 0.9400 would open the door for further gains, though to firmly cement the previously-mentioned, the USD/CHF needs a daily close above the 0.9400 mark.

That said, the USD/CHF first resistance would be March’s 15 and 16 cycle highs, each at 0.9431 and 0.9460. A decisive break of that area would expose 0.9500, followed by the 200-week simple moving average (W-SMA) at 0.9522.

On the flip side, the USD/CHF first support would be 0.9400. Once cleared, the pair’s next demand zone would be March 28, cycle high at 0.9381, followed by the 0.9350 mark.

AUD/USD picks up bids above 0.7100 after RBA-speak

AUD/USD picks up bids above 0.7100 in the Asian session on Tuesday, following hawkish comments from RBA Assistant Governor Sarah Hunter and Governor Michele Bullock. However, escalating tensions in the Middle East and the Fed's hawkish outlook remain supportive of the bullish US Dollar undertone, which could limit the pair. The crucial Trump-Xi summit is later this week and remains in focus.

USD/JPY holds small gains near 157.50 as JPY intervention risks loom

USD/JPY posts modest gains while trading near 157.50 in the Asian session on Tuesday as intervention fears help limit losses for the Japanese Yen. However, the BoJ's dovish rate hike to a 31-year high keeps JPY bulls on the back foot. Meanwhile, the US Dollar retains a bullish undertone amid the Fed's hawkish outlook and escalating Middle East tensions, providing tailwinds for the pair.

Gold: The $4,300 mark holds the downside…for now

Gold extends its decline for a second straight session, retreating toward the $4,300 mark per troy ounce on Tuesday. The yellow metal’s pullback comes amid the resumption of the buying interest in the US Dollar, mixed US Treasury yields and geopolitical uncertainty.

Trump meets Xi: Why markets are watching this summit so closely

US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to meet in Washington on Thursday for a summit closely watched by markets. The meeting could determine whether the world's two largest economies extend their truce or enter a new period of uncertainty.

Energy and risk markets remain in the driver’s seat
US stock markets rallied up 2.26% (Nasdaq) yesterday with AI/tech names leading the advance. The Nasdaq even tested the all-time high reached early June.

European yield curves bull steepened.
BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks.
