USD/CHF Technical Analysis: USD/CHF ending the week in the red below the parity level

USD/CHF is continuing losing momentum as it is trading below its 200-period simple moving average and broke below the 0.9950-0.9961 area.
USD/CHF bull trend is in a consolidation phase as USD/CHF failed to recapture the 2018 high established last week at 1.0069.
While USD/CHF is at risk of a bearish reversal, it still has to overcome the 0.9856 support, June 25 low.

EUR/USD holds lower ground near 1.1850 ahead of EU/ US data

EUR/USD remains in the negative territory for the fourth successive session, trading around 1.1850 in European trading on Friday. A broadly cautious market environment paired with modest US Dollar demand undermines the pair ahead of the Eurozone GDP second estimate and the critical US CPI data.

GBP/USD keeps losses around 1.3600, awaits US CPI for fresh impetus

GBP/USD holds moderate losses at around 1.3600 in the European session on Friday, though it lacks bearish conviction. The US Dollar remains supported amid softer risk tone and ahead of the US consumer inflation figures due later in the NA session on Friday.

Gold retreats from the vicinity of the $5,000 psychological mark, though sticks to its modest intraday gains heading into the European session. Traders now look forward to the release of the US consumer inflation figures for more cues about the Fed policy path. The outlook will play a key role in influencing the near-term US Dollar price dynamics and provide some meaningful impetus to the non-yielding bullion.
