  • The USD/CHF is currently hovering around the 0.8840 level, experiencing mild losses.
  • Investors are taking a backseat after pushing the pair down by more than 1% last week.

The latest report from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed that the US Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) fell short of expectations in October.

The headline figure, on the other hand, showed a YoY growth of 3.2%, which was lower than the consensus of 3.3% and down from the previous reading of 3.7%. 

In that sense, the US reporting soft inflation figures significantly impacted the USD as investors started to price in no more hikes by the Federal Reserve (Fed) and sooner rate cuts. For the rest of the week, no relevant reports will be released, and the market’s focus shifted to Wednesday’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) November minutes to seek any clues on the next monetary policy decisions. In addition, investors await any fresh guidance regarding the bank’s stance on inflation and if a month of positive data is enough for the Fed to end the tightening
