What happened lately

In May 2025, the United States encountered a concerning shift in its Monthly Treasury Budget Statement, recording a deficit of -316 billion dollars compared to a surplus of 258 billion dollars in April, as reported by the Bureau of the Fiscal Service. This substantial reversal reflects a potential increase in government spending outstripping revenue collection, which may raise concerns about fiscal sustainability among investors and policymakers. Meanwhile, the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rate slightly increased to 2.4% from 2.3% in April, indicating moderate inflationary pressures. However, the month-over-month CPI inflation rate dropped to 0.1% from 0.2% in the previous month. The core CPI inflation rate, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, held steady at 2.8%, with the month-over-month rate also decreasing to 0.1% from 0.2%. These numbers suggest that inflation, excluding more volatile food and energy items, remains under control but still warrants close monitoring by monetary authorities.

The recent economic data from the U.S. comes at a critical time for currency markets, particularly affecting the USDCHF rate. The decline in the U.S. Treasury Budget could lead to investor apprehension regarding the fiscal health of the U.S., potentially weakening the U.S. dollar against other currencies like the Swiss franc. Moreover, the steady core inflation rate and slight rise in the headline inflation rate reflect ongoing economic resilience, albeit with modest pressures. Nevertheless, diminishing month-over-month inflation figures could mitigate aggressive monetary policy tightening by the Federal Reserve. As a result, such developments may contribute to the recent decline of 0.28% in the USDCHF pair, with further potential fluctuations depending on incoming economic data such as the US PPI and Consumer Sentiment Index later this week.

Updated daily direction for USDCHF looks bearish as the pair posted lower in Wednesday trading session.

Looking ahead for the day, immediate support level is at S1 0.8178 with break below could see further selling pressure towards S2 at 0.81562. To the upside, with the current momentum bearish, we prefer to look at breakout of the recent daily high of 0.82346 as a potential indicator of buying interest. Failure to break the resistance level would continue to echo bearish sentiment. A close below 0.81845 would indicate selling pressure.
