USD/CHF declines, breaking below key support amid shifting market conditions.

The USD/CHF retreats from year-to-date (YTD) highs reached on Wednesday and drops below the 0.9100 figure as risk appetite improves. The major trades were down by 0.9099 by 0.32%.

USD/CHF Price Analysis: Technical outlook

From a technical perspective, the daily chart depicts the pair as upward biased. After bottoming around the 0.8300 figure, successive series of higher highs and higher lows, alongside the breach of key resistance levels like the 50, 100, and 200-day moving averages (DMAs), opened the door for further upside.

However, after peaking at around 0.9147, the USD/CHF dipped below the April 3 high turned support at 0.9095, but unless the pair closes below the latter, the rally remains alive. The first resistance would be the 0.9100 mark, followed by the year-to-date (YTD) high of 0.9147. Once cleared, the next stop would be the 0.9200 mark, closely followed by the October 3 high of 0.9245.

In the scenario of sellers pushing spot prices below 0.9095, that could pave the way for testing the April 10 swing low of 0.9023, followed by 0.9000.

AUD/USD seems vulnerable near 0.6800, 10-month low amid bullish USD

AUD/USD languishes near a 10-month low during the Asian session on Friday, awaiting a break below 0.6800 before the next leg up amid a bullish US Dollar. Firming Fed rate-hike expectations, along with fading hopes for US-Iran diplomacy, help the USD hold gains at its highest level since April 2025. Moreover, the RBA’s dovish tilt undermines the Aussie and backs the case for further losses.

USD/JPY bulls turn cautious near 160.00 amid intervention risks

USD/JPY enters a bullish consolidation phase around its highest level since early September as bulls turn cautious amid intervention risk near 160.00. Meanwhile, the downside seems cushioned as the wide US-Japan interest rate gap keeps the Yen carry trade active. Furthermore, the possibility of a jumbo Fed rate hike and Middle East uncertainties hold the US Dollar near a 19-month top, supporting the currency pair.

Gold hangs near YTD low, below $3,900 on Fed hike bets and bullish USD

Gold rebounds slightly from Thursday’s YTD low, albeit it remains below $3,900 amid a bearish fundamental backdrop. A surge in Fed rate-hike expectations might continue to undermine the non-yielding bullion. Adding to this, fading hopes of a diplomatic resolution to the US-Iran conflict keep the safe-haven US Dollar firm near April 2025 highs, which further caps the commodity.

Ethereum falls below $2,000 as Nvidia's Jensen Huang resigns

Ethereum (ETH) briefly dropped below $2,000, down 3% on Thursday following selloffs in AI-related equities after chipmaker Nvidia's (NVDA) Jensen Huang resigned as CEO, President and member of the Board of Directors. The decision comes after reports alleged that Huang had another affair with the company's Vice President of Healthcare Kimberly Powell.

The Japanese Yen's 160 line is back — and this time the setup is different

USD/JPY is approaching the psychologically important 160.00 round mark again, its highest level since early September, bringing the Japanese Yen dangerously close to levels that have previously triggered intervention by Japanese authorities.

What the US CPI headline doesn’t tell you about inflation

Brent crude has fallen about a third since mid-October on hopes the Iran war is ending, but diesel, freight and fertiliser costs haven't followed. Those costs reach US consumer prices in stages through 2027 and could keep inflation high after gasoline gets cheaper.
