• USD/CHF extends its losing streak following the release of Swiss Consumer Price Index data on Friday.
• Swiss CPI rose by 1.3% as expected to be consistent in July.
• The US Dollar loses ground ahead of employment data including Nonfarm Payrolls and Average Hourly Earnings.

USD/CHF holds its losses for the fourth successive session following the Swiss Consumer Price Index (CPI) data released on Friday. Swiss Federal Statistical Office declined by 0.2% month-over-month in July, as expected. Meanwhile, inflation year-over-year rose by 1.3% as expected, remaining consistent as compared to the previous rise. The USD/CHF pair trades around 0.8710 during the Asian session.

On Wednesday, the Swiss investors’ sentiment index dropped to 9.4 in June, from June’s 17.5 readings. Despite the decline, the index remains in positive territory, suggesting that the outlook continues to be moderately optimistic.

The downside of the USD/CHF pair could be attributed to the tepid US Dollar (USD) due to the dovish sentiment surrounding the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) policy outlook. The CME's FedWatch Tool shows that traders are fully anticipating a 25-basis point rate cut on September 18.
