In the U.S. currency market yesterday, the U.S. dollar rose against the euro after the U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) for May, released yesterday, remained unchanged from the previous month at 2.2% year-over-year.The EUR/USD pair fell from 1.0816 to 1.0727. On the hourly chart, the price moved from above the 20-period moving average (MA) to below it. On the 4-hour chart, the decline occurred from a pattern where short- and long-term MAs were clustered closely together. Since the price is currently below the 200-period simple moving average (SMA) on the daily chart, we will be watching for the U.S. dollar’s upside potential during European trading hours.
European currencies saw the Swiss franc rise slightly against the yen, despite the Swiss May Producer Price Index (PPI)—released yesterday—deteriorating to -0.3% from 0.6% the previous month. The CHF/JPY pair rose from 174.978 to 175.751.The rise was supported by the 75-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart. Furthermore, during today’s Asian trading session, the pair extended its gains, rising to 176.906, so we will be watching closely to see if the Swiss franc continues to rise during U.S. trading hours.
