The post Swiss Franc regains traction as USD eases from intraday highs amid stalled US-Iran negotiations appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The Swiss Franc (CHF) regains traction against the US Dollar (USD) on Monday, with USD/CHF pulling back after opening the week with a bullish gap as the Greenback gives up part of its earlier gains while traders continue to monitor developments in the Middle East. At the time of writing, the pair is trading around 0.7773 after touching an intraday high near 0.7795, though it remains up about 0.12% on the day. The pullback in USD/CHF appears largely technical in nature as traders partially fill the bullish opening gap. However, the US Dollar’s downside remains limited as fading hopes for a near-term resolution to the US-Iran conflict support safe-haven demand for the Greenback. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against a basket of six major currencies, is trading around 97.88 after hitting an intraday high near 98.15. U

The US Dollar (USD) finds some support after Friday’s stronger-than-expected US employment report, but gains in the Canadian Dollar (CAD) are limiting the pair’s upside amid higher Oil prices.

US President Donald Trump and Iran rejected each other’s latest peace proposals to bring an end to the war in the Middle East as the two sides struggle to maintain a fragile ceasefire, Bloomberg reported on Sunday. “I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called ‘Representatives,’” he said in a social media post, calling it “TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE,” said Trump. According to the source, which cited people familiar with the response, Iran’s latest proposal would dilute some of its highly enriched uranium and have the rest sent to a third country, but it also called for guarantees the transferred uranium would be returned if talks fail and ruled out dismantling its facilities.
