US Dollar Outlook: USD/CHF
USD/CHF bounces back from a fresh yearly (0.8035) to keep the Relative Strength Index (RSI) out of oversold territory, but the exchange rate may continue to track the negative slope in the 50-Day SMA (0.8233) as it still holds below the moving average.

Keep in mind, USD/CHF pulled back ahead of the moving average to hold below the monthly high (0.8250), with the exchange rate clearing the April low (0.8040) earlier this week even though the Swiss National Bank (SNB) remains ‘willing to be active in the foreign exchange market as necessary’ after cutting its benchmark interest rate to zero.

As a result, the weakness in USD/CHF may persist as the Federal Reserve appears to be on track to implement lower interest rates later this year, but the central bank appears to be in no rush to further unwind its restrictive policy as Chairman Jerome Powell tells US lawmakers that ‘we are well positioned to wait to learn more about the likely course of the economy before considering any adjustments to our policy stance.’
With that said, USD/CHF may consolidate over the remainder of the month as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) holds above oversold territory, but a move below 30 in the oscillator is likely to be accompanied by a further decline in the exchange rate like the price action from earlier this year.
