Mid-Day Report: Swiss Franc and Yen Jump after Poor ADP Job Data

Markets are driven by economic data today. Swiss Franc and Japanese Yen are both sharply high in early US session after disappointing US job data. The ADP employment report showed that private job market in US expanded by merely 38k in May, much lower than market's expectation of 178k. That was indeed the worst number since September. It raised worries that Friday's Non-farm payroll report is going to miss expectation of 190k growth. The Challenger report also showed planned layoff rose 1.8% in May while year-over-year, it dropped - 4.3%. USD/CHF dives to new record low of 0.8426 so far while USD/JPY is back below 81 level.

EUR/CHF Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.1974; (P) 1.2146; (R1) 1.2235; More

The break of 1.2100 support indicates that recent down trend in EUR/CHF has resumed and intraday bias is back on the downside for 1.2 psychological first. Sustained break will target 100% projection of 1.3833 to 1.2401 from 1.3234 at 1.1802 next. On the upside, break of 1.2316 resistance is needed to signal short term bottoming. Otherwise, we'll stay bearish even in case of recovery.

Trade Idea: USD/CHF – Buy at 0.8325 or sell at 0.8545

A break of said support would extend recent downtrend towards 0.8325/30
