In yesterday’s U.S. currency markets, the U.S. dollar weakened against the Swiss franc after the U.S. third-quarter GDP growth rate, driven by personal consumption, fell to 3.6% from the previous reading of 4.0%. The USD/CHF pair fell for the fourth consecutive day, dropping by just under 70 pips from 0.8783 to 0.8716, hitting a new three-month low.Since there is no support for USD/CHF until this year’s low of 0.8544, traders should be cautious of the possibility of further declines, possibly interspersed with periods of consolidation.
European currencies saw the euro fall slightly against the yen after the Eurozone’s November consumer confidence index, released yesterday, matched the previous month’s reading of -16.9. The euro/yen pair fell from 162.255 to 161.131. On the daily chart, it has formed a double top, with both the low and high points declining.Since EUR/JPY is approaching a break below the 20-day moving average (20MA), which had been acting as support on the daily chart, we should remain vigilant for the possibility of further yen appreciation from the end of this month through early December, potentially causing the euro to weaken against the yen.
