Fundamental analysis
The USDCHF rate fell to 0.8649 on Tuesday.
Overall, the news cycle centres on the upcoming US presidential election. The question of who will ultimately control Congress is critical for the outcome of the US election. Following Donald Trump’s victory in 2016, the S&P 500 index surged by 31% by January 2018, while the US dollar dropped by 13%. This was mainly due to pressure from the trade dispute with China.
Current market sentiment suggests concern about a similar scenario for the USD this time. However, this could be a positive development for the stock market, especially if Republicans address the budget issue.
The USDCHF forecast does not rule out consolidation at this time.
