The USD/CHF is up on Friday, but still down for the week. The pair surged to 0.9234, hitting the highest level in two days and then pulled back toward 0.9200, amid a weaker US Dollar.

On a weekly basis the pair is down by less than 50 pips, after recovering from 0.9080. The weekly close far from the bottom shows some difficulties for the Swiss franc extending the rally.

Dollar lows

The greenback lost momentum following the London fix and US economic data. Existing Home Sales dropped in December from 4.08 million to 4.02 million in December, above the 3.96 million of market consensus.

Kansas City Federal Reserve President Esther George said in Friday the US Economy is responding to Fed’s actions. She added it is encouraging to see inflation coming down but warned they have to be more patient in assessing if inflation is on a sustainable path down.

Swiss National Bank (SNB) Chairman Thomas Jordan said on Friday that “absolute priority should be to bring inflation down to price stability level.” He added that he won’t hesitate to reinstate negative interest rates to deal with negative inflation.

Analysts at Commerzbank, forecast the USD/CHF will move higher over the next months, reaching 0.95 by June and see it ending the year at 0.94 and resuming the upside in 2024.

The EUR/CHF rose sharply on Friday, with EUR/CHF approaching again the parity area. “Inflation in Switzerland has recently become more benign, which means that the SNB could soon have reached the end of its rate hike cycle. The ECB, on the other hand, is likely to put the brakes on monetary policy for a bit longer. We have therefore adjusted our EUR/CHF forecast slightly upward”, said analyst at Commerzbank. They see the cross at 1.01 by June and 1.02 in September.

AUD/USD bulls seem hesitant below 0.7050 ahead of RBA on Tuesday

AUD/USD reverses an Asian session dip on Monday as renewed optimism over Iran diplomacy boosts investor confidence, keeping a lid on the safe-haven US Dollar and supporting the risk-sensitive Aussie. Spot prices, however, remain below the one-month high, touched last Thursday, as bulls wait for the crucial RBA decision before taking fresh positions.

USD/JPY climbs to 158.00 neighborhood as BoJ uncertainty weighs on the JPY

The USD/JPY pair gains some positive traction at the start of a new week, recovering further from Friday's post-Bank of Japan (BoJ) swing low to sub-157.00 levels. The momentum lifts spot prices to the 158.00 neighborhood during the Asian session and seems unaffected by fresh intervention warning from Japan's Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama.

Gold finds relief from Oil’s decline as traders await key US economic data

Gold retains a positive bias during American trading hours on Monday after sliding to a fresh yearly low of $3,870 on Friday and ending October down 6.87%. A pullback in Oil prices amid diplomatic efforts between the US and Iran supports the precious metal. However, the rebound lacks conviction as the fundamental backdrop continues to raise doubts over a sustained recovery.

Dogecoin risks deeper slide as whales diverge

Dogecoin hovers around $0.075 on Monday after falling for the fifth consecutive week since the end of September. Santiment data shows diverging whale activity, as large holders reduce their positions while smaller whale wallets accumulate tokens. Meanwhile, weakening on-chain metrics and a deteriorating technical outlook suggest that DOGE could remain vulnerable to further losses.

Why strong US growth could not stop the bond rally and AI selloff

The US economy grew at a 3.4% annual rate, yet Treasury yields fell and the Nasdaq ended October with its worst monthly performance since March 2025. The market is no longer rewarding capital expenditure simply because it supports growth. Investors are testing whether that expenditure can produce cash flow and returns above the cost of capital.

The 2% inflation target came from a throwaway remark. It now moves trillions

The Federal Reserve's 2% inflation goal grew out of an off-the-cuff remark by a New Zealand politician in 1988. Bond investors still price long-term US debt as if 2% holds, so a change in how the Fed measures inflation would move markets.
