Overview: The dollar has come back bid. It is rising against all the major currencies today. The Reserve Bank of Australia left rates steady and the poor Chinese Caixin PMI is weighing on the Australian dollar, which is off about 1.25% today. Sterling is the best G10 performer, off about 0.1%. Perhaps, the BOE's meeting on Thursday is helping to deflect some of the selling pressure. Emerging market currencies are also nearly all lower, led by the...

2023-07-27

by

The 0.8699 area is key resistance for the USDCHF. The USDCHF traded to a new low in the European session, taking out the low price from July 18. However, that low was just by a PIP or 2 before moving back to the upside. The gains were helped by better US data this morning which showed stronger GDP, a stronger job market, and a stronger consumer/business market as well (durable goods were higher).
