USDCHF - 0.56%
The US Dollar lost 1.29% to the Swiss Franc in the last two trading sessions. The USD rally is reversing after Switzerland released Unemployment Rate for August; the result met the expert consensus at 2%, a very healthy figure for the Swiss economy, which puts an end to the 4.69% rally the USD built over the previous 18 sessions.
The US also released high-impact economic indicators earlier in the session; Jobless claims for the week came out at 222K out of the 240K analyst's prediction; this figure shows that the labor market in the US continues to be strong despite the Fed's effort to slow down economic activity to reach a comfortable inflation rate.
Next week the US will announce Inflation rate, which is expected to drop from 8.5% to 8.1%; this will give the market participants a clear picture of where the Fed stands for the next interest rate decision at the end of September, where a 75 basis points hike is expected.
