Crude Oil Firms After API Reports Surprise Draw
Adding to the dollar’s weakness was the consolidation of Treasury yields. After yields surged to multi-year highs last week, the rise in yields has subsided, reducing demand for the dollar. Gold improved on Tuesday, but the market posted an inside move, which typically indicates investor indecision and impending volatility. Traders said the gains were related to short-covering. New longs appeared to be scarce since the rally in the equity markets forced them to re-evaluate their reasons for being long. U.S. West Texas Intermediate and international-benchmark Brent crude oil futures settled higher on Tuesday after the American Petroleum Institute reported a surprise crude oil draw.

Technical Checks For USD/CHF, EUR/CHF, CHF/JPY & AUD/CHF: 11.10.2018
In spite of bouncing from the three-week long support-line, USDCHF couldn’t sustain its U-turn and is likely to revisit the 0.9860 rest-point, breaking which 0.9825 & 0.9800 could come back on the chart. Though, the 0.9770 horizontal-line may confine the pair’s declines past-0.9800, if not then 0.9755 & 0.9700 can appear in the sellers radar. In case the quote surpasses 0.9900 immediate resistance, a month old downward slanting TL, at 0.9955, followed by the 0.9985 and the 1.0000 round-figure, might please buyers. Moreover, pair’s successful trading beyond 1. ...

Technical Outlook For USD/CHF, EUR/CHF, AUD/CHF & CAD/CHF: 04.10.2018
Break of three-month old descending trend-line, also encompassing 100-day SMA, signal brighter chances for the USDCHF’s further upside towards 0.9945-50 multiple resistance area. However, a bit broader downward slanting TL, at 1.0000 psychological magnet, can confine the pair’s advances past-0.9950, if not then 1.0040 & 1.0070 may gain traders’ attention.

Core Inflation in the EU: Is It Ever Going to Happen?

Important CHF Pairs’ Technical Update: 19.09.2018
A month old descending trend-line, at 0.9685, is likely to challenge the USDCHF’s short-covering moves from 0.9600, if not then the pair’s rise to 0.9710 and the 200-day SMA level of 0.9740 seem imminent. However, the 0.9780-90 area could restrict the pair’s upside past-0.9740, failing to which might propel prices to 0.9850-55 and the 0.9900 resistance-levels. Meanwhile, the 0.9600 and a downward slanting support-line, at 0.9580 now, can limit the quote’s immediate declines.

Technical Update For EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY & USD/CHF: 11.09.2018
With the failure to provide clear break above immediate TL resistance of 1.1635, not to mention about 1.1650-55 horizontal-region, the EURUSD is likely to witness pullback towards 1.1560 before revisiting the 1.1530-25 support-zone for one more time. In case sellers refrain to respect the 1.1525 rest-point, the 1.1480 and the 1.1430 may mark their presence on the chart whereas 1.1350 and the 1.1300 could entertain them afterwards. Alternatively, pair’s ability to cross the 1.1635 and the 1.1655 resistance can escalate its recovery in direction to the 1.1700 and the 1.1745 levels. ...

Technical Overview of EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY & USD/CHF: 04.09.2018
Although immediate descending trend-line signals further downside of EURUSD, the 1.1540-30 horizontal-region is likely tough support for the pair to conquer in order to extend its declines towards 1.1490 and the 1.1440 rest-points. Given the quote’s sustained south-run beneath 1.1440, the 1.1390 and the 1.1350 may offer intermediate halts prior to highlighting the 1.1300 round-figure. Alternatively, the 1.1625 TL and the 1.1665 can limit the pair’s near-term advances, breaking which the 1.1740-45 area could gain market attention. Moreover, buyers’ refrain to respect 1. ...

Credit Suisse freezes 5 billion Swiss francs of Russian money due to U.S. sanctions
One of Switzerland's largest banks, Credit Suisse, has frozen roughly 5 billion Swiss francs (£3.9 billion) of money linked to Russia to avoid falling foul of U.S. sanctions, according to its accounts, further increasing pressure on Moscow. The move by Credit Suisse, which owned aircraft surrendered by Russian tycoon Oleg Deripaska and had lent money to Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg before the sanctions, underscores a widespread fear among banks of reprisals from Washington for working with targeted Russian individuals and entities. For Russia's elite, such steps could close off an important avenue for finance as well as a safe haven for billions of roubles of their wealth.
