The pair reaches 0.8059, its highest level this year, driven by expectations of prolonged Fed hawkishness.
The USD/CHF pair surged to a new 2024 high of 0.8059, breaching the previous peak of 0.8042 set on March 31. The move reflects a broader recovery in the US dollar amid rising expectations for a hawkish Federal Reserve stance.
Prior to this rally, the pair had struggled to sustain levels above 0.8050, with March’s high marking the previous yearly peak. The breakout aligns with technical patterns, including an inverted head-and-shoulders formation, signaling potential further upside.
Market focus remains on Fed policy signals, with traders pricing in fewer rate cuts for 2024 as inflation concerns persist.
