USD/CHF

United Overseas Bank (UOB) strategists Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann note that USD/CHF has rebounded but still lacks strong upside momentum. In the near term, they see the Dollar trading in a slightly higher 0.8320/0.8355 band, while over the next 1–3 weeks they expect a narrower 0.8295/0.8365 range. On a 1–3 month horizon, they see continued rebound but not a retest of the July peak.

The Swiss Franc (CHF) has trimmed some losses in a quiet market session on Tuesday, as a pullback on US Treasury yields and a mild reversal in Oil prices has undermined support for the safe-haven US Dollar (USD).

USD/CHF declines after registering modest gains the previous day, trading around 0.8330 during Asian hours on Tuesday. The currency pair depreciated as the US Dollar (USD) pulled back from an 18-month high.

USD/CHF starts the week on a positive note, snapping a two-day losing streak as broad US Dollar (USD) strength and a wide interest rate differential between the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the Swiss National Bank (SNB) keep the Swiss Franc (CHF) under persistent selling pressure.

• Monetary policy divergence and yield spreads favor the U.S. dollar over the franc. • Rising oil prices reinforce U.S. inflation risks and sustain Federal Reserve policy restraint. • Technical indicators show neutral MACD, neutral RSI, and a buy signal on Williams %R.

The Swiss Franc (CHF) has turned lower on Monday and is retracing gains from the previous two trading days against the US Dollar, as tensions in the Middle East and a highly likely failure of the Russia-Ukraine ceasefire deal are dampening risk appetite.
