EBC Forex Snapshot, 5 Aug 2024


The dollar dropped on Monday after a dreadful jobs report. Fed fund futures reflected traders pricing a near 99% chance of a 50 bps cut at the central bank's September meeting, according to LSEG data.


Meanwhile, markets are also dealing with the risk of military escalation in the Middle East after latest developments in the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, which increased safe-haven demand.

USDCHF

The Swiss franc jumped higher to a seven-month high. But Swiss manufacturing conditions continued to suffer and the services sector also saw a print below 50 in July, pointing to some weakness in the economy.
