FxWirePro- USDCHF Trade idea

The currency pair declined sharply on board-based US dollar weakness. It hit an intraday low of 0.89733 and is currently trading around 0.89751. The intraday bias appears bearish as long as the resistance level at 0.9150 holds.

In January 2025, the U.S. flash Manufacturing PMI increased to 50.1, a sign that manufacturing is growing once again after a few months of contracting, contrary to analysts' expectations of a less significant increase. The Services PMI decreased to 52.8, a level not seen since April 2024. The overall Composite PMI slid to 52.4, which reflected deceleration mostly because of weakness in the services sector. Increased optimism in manufacturing is tied to expectations of supportive policies from President Trump, while the services sector faces challenges from rising costs and inflation. Overall, these figures suggest mixed economic signals as the U.S. starts 2025.
