USD/CHF respects the previous day’s Doji formation, coupled with upbeat fundamentals, while taking the bids to 0.9980 ahead of Wednesday’s European session.
Comments from the United States (US) President Donald Trump have mostly done the job of spreading market optimism surrounding the US-China phase one deal. The latest one points to the requirement of a good deal. Traders seem to have focused less on the South China Morning Post’s (SCMP) headlines trying to question the US policies for Beijing and signaling restrictions for ZTE and Huawei.

Following that, second estimation of the US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the third quarter (Q3) and Durable Goods Orders are likely to decorate the economic calendar.
Technical AnalysisAs Tuesday’s Doji formation signals reversal of the previous day’s weakness, prices are likely to rise towards mid-October high around 1.0000 psychological while the previous month top near 1.0030 could question bulls then after. Alternatively, sellers look for entry below Doji’s low close to 0.9950. |
