USD/CHF plummets to multi-year lows following US PPI figures USDCHF Majors Currencies Inflation
and Produce Price Index data from the US fueled a widespread USD weakness as its DXY index fell below the 100.00 level for the first time since April 2022.
The Producer Price Index from the US from June came in at 0.1% MoM, less than the 0.2% anticipated, and the Core Figure came in at 2.4%, falling short of the 2.6% forecast. Furthermore, US Jobless Claims for the week ending July 7 slowed down. It was reported that 237K people filed their first state unemployment insurance claims, less than the consensus estimate of 250K and the previous figure of 249K.
The yields on US Treasury bonds are falling in response to the US data. The 2-year yield decreased to 4.62%, the 5-year rate to 3.85%, and the 10-year yield decreased to 3.77% all displaying more than 2% slides. Despite this, the CME FedWatch tool indicates that investors continue to wager on a 25 basis point increase by the Federal Reserve in July. The declining yields reflect a drop in the likelihood of a subsequent hike after July, which is now just about 15%, down from 40% at the beginning of the week.
On the CHF’s side, investors will eye the release of the Producer Price Index from Switzerland from June on Friday, expected to decline 0.2% MoM from the previous 0.3% reading.
