Technical analysis

The USDCF pair gains traction and marked a high above 0.9100 on Friday. The US added just 143K jobs in January, below the 170K forecast, while wage growth rose to 4.1%, complicating the Fed’s policy outlook.

Meanwhile, the Swiss Franc (CHF) gains support as risk sentiment remains fragile amid global trade tensions and cautious monetary policy from the Swiss National Bank (SNB). With uncertainty ahead, traders will watch upcoming US inflation data for further USD/CHF direction.
