US Dollar Outlook: USD/CHF
USD/CHF clears the May low (0.8186) after failing to push above the 50-Day SMA (0.8368), with the exchange rate carving a series of lower highs and lows as it extends the decline from last week.
US Dollar Forecast: USD/CHF Clears May Low
The bearish price action in USD/CHF may persist as it appears to be tracking the negative slope in the moving average, and the ongoing shift in US fiscal policy may continue to produce headwinds for the Greenback as it clouds the outlook for growth and inflation.

With that said, USD/CHF may continue to hold below the 50-Day SMA (0.8368) even though the Trump administration tries to avoid a trade war, but the recent selloff in the exchange rate may turn out to be temporary should it defend the rebound from the April low (0.8040).
USD/CHF Price Chart – Daily
Chart Prepared by David Song, Senior Strategist; USD/CHF Price on TradingView
- USD/CHF carves a series of lower highs and lows following the failed attempt to push above 0.8360 (100% Fibonacci extension), with a move below 0.8080 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement) raising the scope for a test of the April low (0.8040).
- Next area of interest comes in around 0.7810 (161.8% Fibonacci extension), and a move below 30 in the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is likely to be accompanied by a further decline in the exchange rate like the price action from earlier this year.
- At the same time, failure to push/close below 0.8080 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement) may keep USD/CHF within the April range, with a move above 0.8360 (100% Fibonacci extension) bringing the May high (0.8476) on the radar.

Gold Q4 2026 outlook: Resilience in the face of rallying dollar and yields
As we headed towards the latter stages of Q3 and into Q4, the Fed had just hiked rates in a hawkish FOMC meeting, while the likes of the ECB and BoJ had also tightened their respective policies. Oil prices remained elevated amid the prolonged US-Iran conflict. Meanwhile, bond yields were breaking out, and the dollar was higher across the board. Yet, remarkably, gold was still holding in the positive territory for the third quarter, even if it had weakened somewhat in September.
