UBS recommended that investors go brief on this pair, indicating attractive entry levels for the trade. The company highlighted that the DXY index, which measures the strength of the US dollar against a basket of currencies, is down 1.5% from its peak in delayed April due to disappointing US economic data.
Despite the Federal Reserve’s hawkish stance, with officials suggesting it will take several months of data moderation before interest rate cuts are considered, the U.S. dollar is under contradictory pressure.
On the one hand, the Fed maintains a tough stance on monetary policy, on the other hand, economic indicators in the US show signs of deterioration.
UBS emphasized a cautious approach, recommending selectivity in entering into directional transactions with the dollar. This strategy is consistent with the current economic climate, where there are mixed signals from policymakers and economic data.
In addition to recommending a brief position on USD/CHF, UBS also reported closing its long position on USD/CHF, albeit at a marginal profit. This move reflects their response to changing market conditions and ongoing assessment of currency valuations.
