Technical analysis

The USD/CHF pair faces downward pressure as risk aversion intensifies following US President Donald Trump’s renewed tariff threats, fueling concerns over a global trade war. Investors seek safety in the Swiss Franc (CHF), limiting USD gains despite hawkish FOMC minutes. Meanwhile, falling US Treasury yields weigh on the US Dollar Index (DXY), capping any upside momentum. However, expectations of a prolonged Fed rate pause could provide some support for the pair in the near term. Traders will closely monitor upcoming US economic data and geopolitical developments for further direction.
