FxWirePro- USDCHF Trade Idea

The pair surged sharply after mixed US economic data.  Overall bias remains bullish as long as support 0.8780 holds. It hit a high of  0.89646 at the time of writing and is currently trading around 0.89644.

The latest S&P Global Flash PMIs for December 2024 show mixed trends in the U.S. economy. The Manufacturing PMI dropped to 48.3 from 49.7 in November, indicating a contraction in manufacturing activity due to weak export demand. In contrast, the Services PMI rose to 58.5 from 56.1, showing strong growth in the services sector, the highest since the COVID-19 lockdowns. This growth is expected to boost overall economic growth, with GDP rising over 3% for December. The differences between the two sectors suggest that policymakers will need to consider both when making decisions about the economy.
