USD/CHF slides further below 0.9000 mark, lowest level since February 24

USD/CHF continued losing ground for the fourth consecutive session amid sustained USD selling.
Dovish Fed expectations continued acting as a headwind for the greenback and exerted pressure.
The risk-on environment did little to weigh on the safe-haven CHF or lend any support to the pair.

The USD/CHF pair weakened further below the key 0.9000 psychological mark and dropped to the lowest level since February 24 during the mid-European session.

The pair prolonged its recent bearish trajectory and witnessed some follow-through selling on the first day of a new trading week. This marked the fourth consecutive day of a negative move and was exclusively sponsored by the prevalent bearish sentiment surrounding the US dollar.

The USD struggled to capitalize/preserve its modest intraday gains, instead met with some fresh supply and dropped to near two-and-half-month lows amid dovish Fed expectations. Friday's dismal US monthly jobs report reaffirmed that the Fed will keep interest rates low for a longer period.

The headline NFP showed that the US economy added only 266K jobs in April, far lower than consensus estimates pointing to a reading of nearly one million. Adding to this, the previous month's reading was revised down and the unemployment rate edged higher to 6.1% from 6.0% in March.

Meanwhile, the underlying bullish tone in the financial markets, which tends to weigh on the safe-haven Swiss franc, also did little to lend any support to the USD/CHF pair. That said, slightly oversold conditions on short-term charts might help limit the downside, at least for now.

There isn't any major market-moving economic data due for release from the US on Monday. Hence, the USD price dynamics will continue to play a key role in influencing the USD/CHF pair. Apart from this, the broader market risk sentiment will also be looked upon for some trading opportunities.

AUD/USD remains under presure above 0.7000; focus on data

AUD/USD has met some renewed selling pressure on Thursday, coming down from tops near 0.7040 to revisit the 0.7000 region ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The pair’s daily decline has come despite a lacklustre performance in the Greenback at the time when investors continued to monitor developments from the Middle East. Looking ahead, the release of flash PMIs will grab the attention in Oz at the end of the week.

USD/JPY declines to a one-week low; eyes trading range support near 157.50 on weaker USD

USD/JPY drops to a one-week low during Thursday’s Asian session, with bears now awaiting a break below multi-week range support near mid-157.00s before placing fresh bets amid a broadly weaker US Dollar. Despite bets for a December Fed rate hike and Middle East jitters, the recent decline in US bond yields keeps USD depressed near a three-week low. Moreover, hawkish BoJ expectations and intervention risks underpin the Japanese Yen, further weighing on the currency pair.

Gold remains offered just above $4,000

Gold prices resume their decline on Thursday, easing toward the area of two-month lows around $4,050 per troy ounce. Higher crude oil prices have reignited speculation of further tightening by the Fed, supporting the US Dollar and weighing on the precious metal.

The estimates keep falling: Why Bitcoin's quantum countdown is accelerating

The threat that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and quantum computing pose to Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies in general is no longer a matter of if hardware will catch up; it is a matter of when. Advances in AI-assisted research are adding a new dimension to the quantum computing threat, although neither technology can currently break Bitcoin’s cryptography on its own.

The Bank of England just got its clearest reason to hike. Here's what it's really watching

UK inflation as measured by the CPI accelerated to 3.5% YoY in September, up from 3.1% in August, according to the Office for National Statistics. This is the highest level since October 2025, exceeding economists' expectations of 3.4% and pushing inflation further from the BoE's 2% target.

What November 3 means for the Fed's rate path and the US Dollar

The USD faces a decisive period ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. While markets anticipate another interest rate increase from the Fed in December, the battle for control of Congress could reshape fiscal policy expectations and, indirectly, the path of US monetary policy in 2027.
