USD/CHF on verge of opening more upside room with close above 0.9313
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The US Dollar continues to see inflows even versus another safe harbor currency – the Swiss Franc. The USD/CHF stands on the verge of a short-term breakout above projected “correction resistance” at 0.9313.
USD/CHF will be driven by data this week
The trading action in the USD/CHF cross will likely be driven by the data flow from Switzerland and the US this week – culminating with the monthly jobs report out of the US on Friday. Here is the schedule of potentially market moving announcements due out of the two countries this week:
• Monday: Swiss PMI
• Tuesday: Swiss GDP; US ISM Manufacturing PPI; US Construction Spending
• Wednesday: US Trade Balance; US Fed Beige Book; Fed’s Dudley speaking
• Thursday: Fed’s Kocherlakota speaking; US ADP Employment Change; US Weekly Jobless Claims; US Non-Farm Productivity & Labor Costs; US Factory Orders; US ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI
• Friday: Swiss CPI; US Monthly Employment Report
Technical outlook for USD/CHF
If USD/CHF can close above 0.9313, technicians say the next stop for the cross will either be 0.9367 0r 0.9400 – both of which are Fibonacci projection levels. First support for USD/CHF comes in at Friday’s low of 0.9288 and is followed by the 8/22 close at 0.9230.
