FxWirePro- USDCHF Gains Momentum: Bulls Eye 0.8500 After CPI Data

USDCHF pared some of its gains after US CPI data.  It hits an intraday high of 0.84312 and is currently trading around 0.84165. Intraday bias appears to be bullish  as long as the support 0.8378 holds. 

Today's release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for April 2025 showed a 0.2% month-to-month increase, reversing last month's fall of 0.1%, and a 2.3% year-on-year increase, just below March's year-on-year increase of 2.4%. The CPI reading reached an all-time high of 320.80. Core inflation remained at 2.8%. Overall, the report indicates moderate inflation, a shade over the 2% target of the Federal Reserve, and markets and policymakers are observing the impact of tariffs and overall economic trends as the Federal Reserve avoids reducing interest rates.
