May 9th - According to the latest data released by Cui Dongshu, Secretary-General of the China Passenger Car Association, my countrys automobile exports reached 3.28 million units from January to April this year, a year-on-year increase of 52%, setting a new record in recent years.

Bank of Americas global research division had previously predicted two rate cuts this year, one in September and one in October, a view partly based on the expectation that Trumps nomination of Kevin Warsh to succeed Jerome Powell as Fed chairman would guide policymakers towards looser monetary policy. However, this view has changed with evolving economic conditions. Bank of America economists recently stated, "We no longer expect the Fed to cut rates this year." They also pointed out that multiple shocks impacting the economy, including the Iran war, tariffs, and the rise of artificial intelligence, have made predicting interest rate changes more difficult.Israel Defense Forces: The targets included weapons storage facilities, launchers, and buildings used by Hezbollah to advance terrorist activities against Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers.On May 9th, GAC Aion issued a statement on social media, stating that recently, some internet users have been publishing and spreading information claiming that three automakers are under investigation and eight automakers have been summoned for talks due to OTA (Over-The-Air) "battery locking" issues, and fabricating a list of companies that GAC Aion is among those summoned or investigated. After verification, GAC Aion has never been summoned by relevant authorities for the matters mentioned in the false information, nor is it included in any list of companies under investigation. The spread of such false information on online platforms has seriously damaged GAC Aions corporate image and brand reputation. Currently, GAC Aion has immediately begun evidence preservation and account tracing, and will pursue legal action against those spreading rumors to protect its legitimate rights and interests. We urge relevant internet users and platforms to immediately delete all content that spreads rumors and defames GAC Aion. At the same time, we urge all netizens not to easily believe or spread unverified information, to rationally distinguish the source of information, to resolutely resist online rumors, and to jointly protect a clean online environment.U.S. Geological Survey: A 5.3-magnitude earthquake struck the Lat Islands in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska.

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.
