USDCHF Opens Trade With a Weak Impulse

USDCHF opens trade with a weak impulse. The market began the week on a slightly negative note, losing 0.16% in value. This happened despite the Swiss National Bank’s approach being less hawkish than expected. However, the latest round of US data suggests a resilient labor market. Traders are currently looking to the US inflation report and the Fed’s Senior Loan Officer Survey to further evaluate market sentiment. This could provide more insight into the strength of the USDCHF. The US wholesale inventories report for March showed an unchanged reading, but the annualized figure increased by 9.10%. This indicates strong underlying economic momentum in the US. This could bode well for the USD/CHF pair, as a strong US economy often boosts the value of the dollar against other currencies.

Feds Expectation

Therefore, traders will pay close attention to the Federal Reserve’s Senior Loan Officer Survey and US inflation data to evaluate the near-term prospects of the USD/CHF pair. If the news from either of these sources is positive, it is likely to have a positive effect on the pair’s value. Conversely, if the news is negative, it could lead to further losses for the USD/CHF pair. Investors are turning to the Swiss franc as the US Dollar Index (DXY) declines and US equities experience a downward trend. The most recent Senior Loan Officer Survey (SLOOS) released by the Reserve has not alleviated concerns, as banks continue to struggle amidst the ongoing US banking crisis.

The lack of progress in the US deficit limit discussions is causing further worry among investors. The USD/CHF will likely continue to sag during the day as uncertainty reigns and investors continue to seek safety in the CHF. Investors are becoming increasingly concerned about the US economy, and the lack of a resolution to the debt limit issue is only adding to their worries. The US banking sector is particularly vulnerable, with banks facing further losses as investors move away from the US dollar in search of safety.
