USDCHF Poised to Break 0.87 as U.S. News Boosts Prospects
FxNews—On Tuesday, the interest rate on the 10-year U.S. government bond remained just below 4.3%. Investors are waiting for important economic information from the U.S. that could indicate future actions by the Federal Reserve.
Key U.S. Job Data and Economic Reports This Week
Data about job openings and employee changes will help understand the job market’s condition on the same day. Other significant reports, including early estimates of GDP growth, consumer inflation, and employment numbers outside the farming sector, are scheduled throughout the week.
Additionally, the U.S. Treasury will announce its plans for bond sales this week as part of its regular financial updates. Despite these updates, the main interest rate remains near its highest point in almost four months. This stability reflects confidence in the U.S. economy, which reduces the likelihood of significant interest rate reductions by the Federal Reserve.
After a substantial initial decrease in September, the market anticipates a smaller rate cut of 25 basis points in November.
