The USD/CHF rises during the North American session as recent economic data from the States prompted investors to reduce bets that the Fed would cut rates by 50 bps, as stated by the US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Wednesday. At the time of writing, the pair traded at 0.8077, up 0.26%.
On Thursday, Bessent backpedaled and said that it is the Fed's job to set interest rates. Meanwhile, traders who piled in for a big size cut scrambled to get out of those positions as US PPI approached the 3.5% figure.
