Swiss GDP weakened as expected The GDP data released today shows that Switzerland's GDP grew by 0.1% QoQ in 2Q2025, following a stronger expansion of 0.8% in 1Q2025. This result confirms weak growth for the Swiss economy in the latest quarter, as gains in the services sector were offset by a downturn in industrial activity and export pressures, especially related to recent US tariffs. Weak GDP growth and deflation increase the likelihood of continued dovish SNB policy. Any signs of further slowdown or persistent deflation could trigger additional easing, possibly even negative rates again.
Meanwhile, the USD fell due to uncertainty about the Fed's independence, which drove the CHFUSD higher when Trump called to fire Fed Governor Cook.
Technically, the pair is trading near 1.2474, with price action consolidating just above several moving averages (EMA 20/50/100/200), indicating a possible emerging bullish bias if the pair maintains above these levels
Price recently broke above previous resistance at 1.2450–1.2460, pointing toward a short-term bullish trend continuation, with next resistance seen at 1.2500 and support at 1.2400.

Expectation of Fed rate cut and BoJ rate hike dampen the USDJPYDue to the recent softer US CPI print and weakening labor market data since the start of the month, market expectations for a Fed rate cut have increased. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, markets are pricing in three rate cuts for this year, with the earliest likely to occur in September.
Meanwhile, in Japan, inflation has also eased, while concerns about US demand have diminished. Japan's 2Q GDP is expected to rebound to 0.4%, avoiding a technical recession. As a result, markets anticipate the BoJ may hike rates further, which would lend additional support to the yen against the US dollar.
Technically, USDJPY has formed a downtrend, characterized by lower swing low and a bearish extension of its EMAs. If USDJPY falls below the 146 support level, the currency pair could test the next support at 145. Conversely, if USD/JPY recovers above both the 21 and 78 EMAs, the price may surge toward the resistance at 149.00.

Will the US Inflation Data Drive a Breakout for USDCAD?Macro approach:
- USDCAD edged higher this week amid softer Canadian labor data, boosting BoC cut odds and pre‑CPI caution that kept the USD supported as traders eyed key US inflation prints.
- Canada shed 40.8k jobs in Jul while unemployment held at 6.9%, reinforcing expectations for a 17 Sep BoC cut and pressuring the loonie.
With Canada's calendar light, focus shifted to the US, where Jul CPI/PPI and Retail Sales are set to steer Fed cut probabilities that sit near 85–90% for Sep, anchoring USD tone into the data.
- In short, US inflation and activity data could drive USDCAD direction, while oil's resilience may cushion CAD. A softer US CPI/PPI may weigh on USD and support CAD, but it is limited (Oil trend and Sep rate cut), whereas sticky prints could extend USD firmness into the week.
Technical approach:
- USDCAD formed a Triple-Bottom pattern and broke the descending channel to make a swing high at around 1.3878. The price retraced and retested the support at around 1.3755 and bounced to close around EMA78. The price is captured within a tight trading range of 1.3755-1.3850, awaiting an apparent breakout to determine the trend.
- If USDCAD closes above both EMAs and the resistance at 1.3850, the price may retest May's resistance area at around 1.4000.
- On the contrary, closing below the support at 1.3755 and the ascending channel may prompt a correction to retest the key support at 1.3567.

XAU move sideways, awaiting US CPI todayGold prices declined amid the extended US-China tariff truce, yet they remain highly volatile ahead of today's US CPI data.
The market anticipates the July US CPI to rise to 2.8% from May's 2.7%, with Core CPI also expected to increase to 3.0% from 2.9%. Higher inflation could reduce the odds of a Fed rate cut, strengthening the dollar and pressuring gold. Conversely, a larger-than-expected inflation increase could fuel stagflation concerns, potentially supporting gold prices.
Another factor that could support gold is the meeting between US President Trump and Russian President Putin this week in Alaska. A lack of a final agreement to end the war in Ukraine could prompt the US to increase sanctions on Russian goods, which could further exacerbate gold prices.
Technically, XAUUSD is trading in a tight range, holding above the 3345 support level and below its EMAs (21, 78), suggesting a continuation of sideways movement. A breach below 3345 could see the price retest next support at 3285, while a sustained hold above this level could prompt a correction towards the 3402 resistance.

Pound break despite the MPC meeting is comingWhile a BoE rate cut of 0.25% is widely anticipated today, the market's focus will be on the post-meeting guidance, which could clarify the future path of monetary policy. The decision is influenced by a weakening labor market and a significant government deficit of 51 bln USD. A dovish stance could lead to a faster pace of cuts, dampening the pound.
From a technical perspective, the GBPUSD pair has broken above the EMA78, signaling further potential gains. However, it is currently facing resistance at 1.33800. A break above this level could see the pair test the next resistance at 1.3440. Conversely, a failure to hold this level could lead to a fall toward the support at 1.3150.

BoJ keep interest rate unchanged, yen weakeningFollowing the July meeting, the BoJ maintained its interest rate at 0.5%, citing prevailing uncertainties from trade tariffs. Concurrently, the BoJ revised its inflation forecast upward to 2.7% YoY from 2.2%. The central bank's language on economic uncertainty has become less pessimistic, downgrading trade policy risks from "extremely high" to "high uncertainties remain," which signals a growing, albeit cautious, confidence in the economic outlook.
In the US, the June PCE surged to 2.6% YoY, surpassing the 2.5% prev. cons. The increase was attributed to tariff impacts, with Goods prices rising 0.4% MoM, the fastest pace since January, while Services prices held steady at 0.2% MoM.
The higher-than-expected US PCE data and the BoJ's decision to hold interest rates have continued to drive further appreciation of the USDJPY.
USD/JPY Technical Analysis
The USD/JPY pair is trading above its EMAs extensions, signaling a continuation of the bullish momentum. The price has successfully breached the ascending resistance trendline. However, the RSI is in overbought territory, suggesting that the current rally may be extended, and a potential pullback could be imminent.
The pair could continue to test the resistance level at 151.367. Should it fail to break this level, a rebound could see the USD/JPY pair test the support at 149.65.

AUD/JPY At a Breaking Point – Big Move Loading!AUD/JPY is sitting at a crucial level right now. We're seeing a descending triangle pattern forming, with price getting squeezed between lower highs and key support around the 200 EMA (94.64).
A breakdown below this level could trigger a sharp drop, with targets around 90 and possibly 85-87 in the coming weeks. The bearish momentum is building, and today's red candle isn't looking too promising for bulls.
On the flip side, if buyers step in and push it back above 97.50, we might see a recovery towards the 100 level. But for now, the bias leans bearish unless we get a strong reversal signal.
Keep an eye on that 94 level – a breakdown could mean more downside ahead. 🔻
U.S Dollar Index (DXY) Rising Wedge Potential Reversal !!U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) on a 2-day timeframe, a rising wedge pattern. Here’s a breakdown of the technical analysis:
Key Observations:
1. Rising Wedge Pattern:
The price has been following an upward trajectory within two converging trendlines.
A rising wedge is typically a bearish reversal pattern, meaning a breakdown could lead to a decline.
2. Recent Price Action:
The index has recently dropped from its recent high near 108.107 and is now trading at 107.807.
This suggests that selling pressure is increasing.
3. 200 EMA Support:
The 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is currently at 104.510.
This is a key support level—if the price breaks down from the wedge, it may test the 200 EMA.
4. Potential Scenarios:
Bearish Breakdown:
If DXY breaks below the lower wedge trendline, the index could drop toward the 104.5-105.0 level (200 EMA).
A further breakdown may lead to a decline toward 102-100 levels.
Bullish Continuation:
If DXY bounces from current levels and reclaims the upper wedge resistance, it could push toward 110-112.
However, this is less likely given the wedge structure.
Conclusion:
The chart suggests a potential reversal in DXY.
A breakdown from the rising wedge could lead to a decline toward 104-105.
If bulls regain strength, DXY may attempt to push higher, but upside is limited.
Traders should watch for confirmation of a breakdown or bounce before making decisions.
