The USD/CHF pair is trading higher at 0.9085 in Thursday’s European session, supported by the hawkish comments from several Fed policymakers. The US Dollar (USD) has strengthened due to remarks from officials such as Boston Fed President Susan Collins, New York Fed President John Williams, and Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari. They have indicated that they prefer to keep interest rates at current levels for an extended period, leading to a broad increase in the Greenback and providing a tailwind for the USD/CHF pair. Additionally, the lack of top-tier economic data releases from the US and Switzerland has shifted the focus to the Fed’s Daly’s speech later in the day.

On the Swiss front, the Unemployment Rate in Switzerland decreased to 2.3% MoM in April from 2.4% in March, marking the lowest level in four months. This positive economic data release has also contributed to the overall strength of the Swiss Franc (CHF). However, market participants are closely monitoring geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly regarding discussions on a Gaza ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Recent efforts by US Central Intelligence Agency Director William Burns to mediate these discussions have raised hopes for a resolution. If uncertainties persist, the CHF may see increased demand as a traditional safe-haven currency.

The ongoing hawkish stance of the Fed policymakers and positive economic data from Switzerland have supported the USD/CHF pair’s upward trajectory. With the lack of major economic releases from both countries, investors are eagerly awaiting the outcome of the Fed’s Daly’s speech, which could provide further insights into the central bank’s future monetary policy decisions. The market’s focus on geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the potential for a Gaza ceasefire also adds to the uncertainty surrounding the currency pair.

In the coming days, any developments in the Middle East and the progress of the Gaza ceasefire discussions will likely influence the CHF’s demand as a safe-haven currency. Additionally, any further comments from Fed officials regarding monetary policy and inflation outlook could impact the direction of the USD/CHF pair. With the Swiss Unemployment Rate hitting a new low and the Greenback gaining strength, the pair continues to be supported by underlying bullish sentiments.

Overall, the USD/CHF pair is currently trading higher at 0.9085, benefiting from the hawkish comments from Fed officials, positive economic data from Switzerland, and ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Investors are eagerly awaiting further insights from the Fed’s Daly’s speech and monitoring developments regarding the Gaza ceasefire discussions. The pair’s future direction will likely be influenced by a combination of these factors, shaping market sentiment towards the USD and CHF in the near term.
