Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Economic Indicators
USD/CHF extended losses to a two-month low of 0.8127 during the North American session before rebounding to 0.8172. The pair reclaimed the 100-day SMA at 0.8159 as the US Dollar was sold in favor of the Swiss Franc and Japanese Yen.
Why it matters
The move reflects a shift toward haven currencies as demand for the US Dollar weakened. Technical levels around the 50-day and 100-day moving averages will shape whether the pair recovers or extends its decline.
