In yesterday’s U.S. currency trading, the U.S. dollar rose against the yen ahead of today’s U.S. CPI release. The USD/JPY pair rose from 161.246 to 161.803. The rise was supported by the 20-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart.On the 4-hour chart, the pair is trading above the 10-period moving average (MA), and on the daily chart, the 10-MA is acting as support, leading to a rebound. Therefore, we should remain vigilant for the possibility of significant price movements following the U.S. CPI release.
Among European currencies, the Swiss franc fell against the U.S. dollar. The USD/CHF pair rose from 0.8964 to 0.9001, rebounding from below the 20-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart to above it.On the 4-hour chart, the 200-period simple moving average (SMA) is acting as a support level, while on the daily chart, the pair is rebounding off the 200-period exponential moving average (EMA). We will be watching closely to see if the Swiss franc continues to weaken against the U.S. dollar.
