USD/CHF remains timid around 0.8950 due to investors’ caution ahead of FOMC decision

  • USD/CHF moves sideways ahead of the interest rate decision by the Fed.
  • The Swiss Franc may appreciate due to the hawkish sentiment surrounding the SNB.
  • CME FedWatch Tool suggests the probability of a Fed rate cut in September has decreased to 52%.

USD/CHF moves sideways with low liquidity, trading around 0.8970 during the early European session on Wednesday. The Swiss Franc (CHF) receives support against the US Dollar (USD) as the Swiss National Bank (SNB) is unlikely to implement an interest rate cut in June. Previously, SNB Chairman Thomas J. Jordan warned of minor upside risks to inflation expectations.

Traders are anticipating the SNB Financial Stability Report on Thursday, which will provide an assessment of the banking sector's stability and the financial market infrastructure. Additionally, Producer and Import Prices will also be eyed.

The US Dollar (USD) remains stable ahead of the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) policy decision on Wednesday. The Fed is anticipated to keep interest rates steady in the range of 5.25%-5.50% as it aims to curb inflation toward its 2% target.

The robust US jobs data for May has reduced the odds of the Fed interest rate cut in September. The CME FedWatch Tool indicates that the likelihood of a Fed rate cut in September by at least 25 basis points has decreased to 52%, down from 67% a week earlier.

Investors will also observe key US inflation data, which is expected later in the North American session. The US headline and core CPI figures for May are estimated to show year-over-year increases of 3.4% and 3.5%, respectively.

Gold bulls seem unstoppable amid supportive fundamental backdrop

Gold is seen building on the previous day's strong rally of over 2% and continues scaling new all-time highs for the second consecutive day on Tuesday. The commodity climbs closer to the $4,500 psychological mark during the Asian session and remains well supported by a combination of factors.

Ten questions that matter going into 2026

2026 may be less about a neat “base case” and more about a regime shift—the market can reprice what matters most (growth, inflation, fiscal, geopolitics, concentration). The biggest trap is false comfort: the same trades can look defensive… right up until they become crowded.

XRP steadies above $1.90 support as fund inflows and retail demand rise

Ripple (XRP) is stable above support at $1.90 at the time of writing on Monday, after several attempts to break above the $2.00 hurdle failed to materialize last week. Meanwhile, institutional interest in the cross-border remittance token has remained steady.
