The USD/CHF snaps four days of losses and jumped off the day’s lows, around 0.9260, amid a mixed market mood and expectations of 50-bps increases by the US central bank on its May monetary policy meeting. At the time of writing, the USD/CHF is trading at 0.9304.

A risk-off market mood keeps US equity indices pressured while European bourses fluctuate. The greenback erases earlier losses, up 0.04%, sitting at 98.819, while US Treasury yields skyrocket, with the 10-year up 14 basis points at 2.489%, but short of daily highs around 2.503%.

The market mood dampened on reports that a Saudi Aramco oil facility located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, was hit by a missile launched by Yemen’s rebel Houthi militia on Friday, reports on social media suggested.

Overnight, the USD/CHF dropped from 0.9300ish towards 0.9260, the top of an eleven-month-old downslope trendline, previous resistance-turned-support, and jumped off as the North American session evolves, amid a softer demand for the greenback.

USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook

The USD/CHF daily chart depicts the pair as upward biased, despite breaking below the 0.9373 mark, though it would be resistance ahead of the YTD high around 0.9460.

However, the 1-hour chart depicts the USD/CHF as bearish biased in the near term. The USD/CHF is probing a downslope trendline drawn from March 16 highs, unsuccessfully tested two previous times. If the trendline holds, the USD/CHF first support level would be 0.9300. Breach of the latter would expose Friday’s daily low at 0.9260, followed by March 9 low at 0.9250.

EUR/USD climbs to daily highs near 1.1820

EUR/USD now picks up pace and advances to the area of daily peaks north of the 1.1800 barrier at the end of the week. The pair’s decent move higher comes against the backdrop of a generalised lack of direction in the FX galaxy and the mild offered stance in the US Dollar.

Gold flirts with four-week highs past $5,200

Gold extends its rebound, climbing for a third consecutive session and pushing back above the $5,200 mark per troy ounce on Friday.
