USD/CHF nears 0.9000 as Fed’s dovish sentiment weighs on the pair

The USD/CHF pair is facing downward pressure as the US Dollar struggles amid expectations of multiple rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in 2024. The dovish sentiment was reinforced by lower-than-expected CPI and Retail Sales data from the US, with CPI decelerating to 0.3% and Retail Sales falling short of expectations. However, Fed’s Neel Kashkari has suggested that policy rates should remain unchanged for a longer period to assess the direction of inflation.

On the Swiss front, Producer and Import Prices decreased by 1.8% in April, marking the twelfth consecutive period of decline but at a slower rate. Traders are now looking ahead to the release of Swiss Industrial Production data for the first quarter, which will provide insights into manufacturing conditions in the country.

The USD/CHF pair is currently hovering around 0.9000 during the European trading session on Thursday. The ongoing pressure on the US Dollar is a result of growing expectations of rate cuts by the Fed in 2024. This sentiment was fueled by disappointing CPI and Retail Sales data from the US, indicating a slowdown in economic activity.

Despite the negative outlook for the US Dollar, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari has advocated for maintaining current policy rates to gauge the direction of inflation. This cautious approach suggests that the Fed may hold off on any rate hikes in the near future, which could provide some stability to the market.

In Switzerland, the Producer and Import Prices saw a slight improvement in April, declining by 1.8% compared to the previous month. While this marks the twelfth consecutive period of decrease, it is the slowest rate of decline since December 2023. This indicates some resilience in the Swiss economy amid global economic uncertainties.

Traders are now eagerly awaiting the release of Swiss Industrial Production data for the first quarter, scheduled for Friday. This report will offer a glimpse into the performance of the manufacturing sector in Switzerland, providing valuable insights into the overall economic health of the country. Overall, the USD/CHF pair is likely to remain under pressure in the near term, as market participants closely monitor economic indicators and central bank actions for any potential shifts in sentiment.
