According to Irans Mehr News Agency, Iranian security forces intercepted Kurdish militants attempting to enter the country from Iraq.January 10th - According to tanker tracking website TankerTrackers and Venezuelas state-owned oil company, at least four oil tankers—most of which were already loaded with cargo—left Venezuela in early January under a tight US blockade, operating in "silent mode" (i.e., with transponders off), and have now returned to Venezuelan waters. Last month, a convoy of about a dozen cargo tankers and at least three empty vessels left Venezuelan waters, a move that apparently challenged the embargo imposed by US President Trump in mid-December. One of the vessels, the Panamanian-flagged supertanker "M Sophia," was intercepted and seized by the US this week en route back to Venezuela, while another tanker, the São Tomé and Príncipe-flagged "Olina," was intercepted on Friday but was subsequently released and returned to Venezuela. Late Friday, Tankertrackers spotted three more vessels that had been part of the convoy in Venezuelan waters using satellite imagery: the Panamanian-flagged "Merope," the Cook Islands-flagged "Min Hang," and the Panamanian-flagged "Thalia III."The Ukrainian military said it attacked the Zhutovskaya oil depot in Russias Volgograd region at night.BYD Auto: The 2026 Song Pro DM-i 220km long-range version has been launched, with prices starting from 119,800 yuan.According to tanker tracking website TankerTrackers and Venezuelas state oil company, at least four tankers that had left Venezuela in "stealth mode" have returned to the countrys waters.

Analysis of the USD/CHF Price: Steady around the 0.9870 Area as Bull's Eye Parity

Prior to Wall Street's closing bell, the Swiss franc remains on the defensive throughout the day, unable to recoup from severe weekly losses of 1.45% as of now. At the time of writing, the USD/CHF exchange rate is trading at 0.9877 amid a risk-averse market sentiment.

 

On Friday, US equities anticipate ending the week on a negative note. In the interim, US Treasury rates continue to rise, driven by the 10-year benchmark note, which is currently yielding roughly 3.12 percent, one basis point below yearly highs.

 

The US Dollar Index, a measure of the greenback's value relative to a basket of six other currencies, is currently up 0.04 percent, at 103.589.

 

During Friday's trading session, the USD/CHF opened near 0.9850 in the Asian-Pacific session and moved within a 30-pip range between 0.9850 and 0.9880 due to a lack of trigger as FX traders prepare for the weekend.

USD/CHF Price Prediction: Technical perspective

The USD/CHF is prepared to extend its gains into the following week, while retreating from yearly highs at 0.9890. At 80.33, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates that the pair is well into overbought territory but is still pushing higher, indicating that a further advance may be imminent.

 

In the meanwhile, the 1-hour chart reveals that once the USD/CHF reached 0.9890, the yearly high for 2022 consolidated in the region of 0.9825-90. Notably, the 50, 100, and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs) remain below the market price, indicating that USD bulls maintain control.

 

If the USD/CHF crosses the range's upper boundary, the 0.9900 level would serve as initial resistance. Once the R1 daily pivot is cleared, the next supply zone would be around 0.9920, followed by the R2 pivot point at parity.

 

In contrast, the initial support for the USD/CHF would be the intersection of the 50-day simple moving average and the daily pivot around 0.9818-20. A breach of the latter would expose the 100-SMA at 0.9802, followed by the intersection of the S1 daily pivot and the 200-SMA in the 0.9740-47 region.
