US Dollar Outlook: USD/CHF
USD/CHF continues to recover from a fresh monthly low (0.8022) following a larger than expected rise in the US Producer Price Index (PPI), and the exchange rate may further retrace the decline from earlier this week as the Retail Sales report is expected to show another rise in household spending.
US Dollar Forecast: USD/CHF Recovers from Fresh Monthly Low
USD/CHF trades back above the 50-Day SMA (0.8053) as the core PPI prints at 3.7% in July versus forecasts for a 2.9% reading, and the exchange rate may no longer track the negative slope in the moving average after closing above the indicator for the first time since February.

Meanwhile, data prints coming out of the US may continue to sway USD/CHF as Retail Sales is projected to increase 0.5% in July following the 0.6% expansion the month prior, and a positive development may generate a bullish reaction in the Greenback as it puts pressure on the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates higher for longer.

However, a weaker-than-expected Retail Sales report may drag on the US Dollar as it fuels speculation for an imminent Fed rate-cut, and the recent recovery in USD/CHF may turn out to be temporary if it fails to defend the advance from the monthly low (0.8022).
With that said, USD/CHF may reestablish the downward trend from earlier this year as the Fed appears to be on track to further unwind its restrictive policy, but the exchange rate may attempt to retrace the decline from the June high (0.8250) as it appears to be coiling above the July low (0.7872).
