USD/CHF Builds Above 0.7800 as Dollar Strength Weakens Swiss Franc
USD/CHF has decisively broken and held above the key 0.7800 resistance on May 12, converting it to support and targeting 0.7850 near the 100-day SMA amid firmer USD driven by hawkish Fed expectations and resilient US data. The pair rebounded from two-month lows at 0.7768 hit on May 7-8 after a sharp reversal from an April peak of 0.8042, triggered by strong Swiss PMI at 54.5 and SNB hawkishness. Fading US-Iran truce hopes and upcoming US CPI bolster upside potential to 0.7900 if 0.7800 holds, though a close below risks retesting 0.7758.
