Swiss inflation unchanged, Swiss franc extends gains
Swiss inflation was unchanged in July, down from 0.2% a month earlier. If inflation continues to drop, the SNB could push interest rates into negative territory. US nonfarm payrolls came in at 73 thousand, lower than expected, and the May and June reports were revised sharply lower. This points to widening cracks in the US labour market.

USD/CHF Technical: Swiss franc’s medium-term bearish trend in progress
The Swiss franc continues to weaken, hitting a fresh low against the US dollar as US tariffs on Swiss goods jump to 39%. This sharp escalation threatens Switzerland’s export-driven economy and may push the SNB to adopt a more dovish stance. With USD/CHF breaking out of its downtrend and momentum indicators staying strong, technical signals point to further upside potential in the near term. Traders now eye 0.8215/8250 and 0.8350/8380 as next resistance zones.

AUD/JPY Technical: Bearish signals suggest the end of medium-term uptrend as BoJ looms
UD/JPY may face a medium-term trend reversal as bearish signals emerge ahead of the BoJ policy decision. A potential rate hike later in 2025 could support yen strength, adding pressure to AUD/JPY. A bearish double top below key resistance and weakening bond yield spreads point to downside risk. A break below 95.70 may expose 94.80 and 93.95 supports. Only a move above 97.30 would revive bullish momentum.
