USD/CHF Technical: Potential Swiss franc bullish range breakout as NFP looms
The USD/CHF remains in a narrowing range ahead of Friday’s US NFP release, with risk building for a bearish breakout. Meanwhile, signs of stabilization in Swiss data, manufacturing PMI at 49.0, and services PMI rebounding from a five-year low, suggest the SNB’s aggressive rate-cut cycle may be ending. With yield spreads between US Treasuries and Swiss bonds narrowing, downside pressure on USD/CHF is likely to persist.

GBP/USD Technical: Sterling torpedoed by spike in 30-year gilt yield, watch the 1.3315/3280 key support
Sterling tumbled, losing 1.2% intraday against the dollar and ranking as the weakest major currency as of 2 September, with USD/GBP up 1.1%. The 30-year UK gilt yield surged 6 bps to 5.69%, its highest since 1998, as concerns over rising UK debt widened the risk premium. Drawing parallels with the 2022 gilt crisis, GBP/USD remains bearish below 1.3460, with supports eyed at 1.3370 and 1.3315/1.3280.

EUR/USD Technical: Euro on the brink of a medium-term bullish breakout
EUR/USD is on the brink of a medium-term bullish breakout after a 1.6% rally to 1.1730 in mid-August.
