The USD/CHF Currency Pair Trades Near 0.9720 as Investors Await the SNB's Jordan Speech

The USD/CHF pair demonstrated a back and forth movement during the Asian session. The asset is consolidating in a six-pip range ahead of the Swiss National Bank's (SNB) Thomas J. Jordan's Friday address.

 

Jordan's remarks will likely dictate the SNB's monetary policy action in June. For an extended period, the SNB has maintained an ultra-loose monetary policy. However, investors may be surprised this time around as SNB policymakers may sound a little more hawkish. The Swiss Consumer Price Index (CPI) has surpassed the 13-year high of 2.2 percent, significantly exceeding the planned inflation rate of 2%. Although the announcement will take a neutral posture, guidance may be quite aggressive.

 

Meanwhile, the US dollar index (DXY) is undergoing a temporary correction following a stronger upward trajectory. The DXY is currently stabilizing at 103.65 and is looking for a trigger to move higher. The uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's (Fed) announcement of an interest rate decision next week will govern future prices. Investors should brace themselves for a big rate hike, as the Federal Reserve is wary about escalating inflation. Today's session will be dominated by the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index (CSI), which is expected to come in at 62 points, down from the prior reading of 65.7 points.
