USD/CHF Gains On Hawkish Fed prop trading opportunities 13 August 2024

Fundamental Analysis

* Hawkish Fed: USD/CHF gained traction as the dollar strengthened at the start of the week, driven by hawkish comments from Fed Governor Michelle Bowman. She indicated that the Fed may hold off on rate cuts in September and noted persistent inflation risks from a strong labor market. Additionally, positive equity market sentiment is weakening the Swiss Franc (CHF) and bolstering the USD/CHF pair.

Technical Analysis

* Technical Breakout: USDCHF was traded higher following prior rebound from its low level. MACD which illustrate diminishing bearish momentum signal suggest the pair to likely extend its gains.

* Resistance and Support: If the bullish momentum persists, there’s a strong likelihood that the price will potentially head towards 0.87600. Conversely, a potential reversal is also to be expected and the price could head back towards 0.85650.

Potential Risks

Looking ahead, traders will monitor upcoming US economic data for more insights into the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) rate outlook. Key releases include the Producer Price Index (PPI) on Tuesday, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on Wednesday, and Retail Sales on Thursday.
