The USD/CHF pair is currently testing critical support levels near its January lows as investors brace for the upcoming US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report to gauge the Federal Reserve's next moves. The US Dollar has faced significant downward pressure recently following disappointing Retail Sales and Employment Cost Index (ECI) data. Market participants are now pricing in approximately 60 basis points of interest rate easing by the Fed before the end of the year. Meanwhile, the Swiss Franc remains resilient after the Swiss National Bank (SNB) maintained its current policy and signaled a high bar for returning to negative interest rates. The outcome of the NFP report will be pivotal; a weak reading could drive the pair to new cycle lows, while a strong report might trigger a hawkish repricing and a USD recovery.
