  • USD/CHF trades in negative territory for the second consecutive day near 0.8655 in Thursday’s early European session. 
  • Global political uncertainty and geopolitical risks boost the Swiss Franc, a traditional safe-haven asset. 
  • Investors await the US PCE inflation data for more cues on the Fed's policy path.

The USD/CHF pair drifts lower to around 0.8655 during the early European session on Thursday. Persistent safe-haven flows amid the uncertainty surrounding the US presidential election on November 5 and Middle East tensions continue to support the Swiss Franc (CHF). 

The US economic data continues to suggest that the US economy remains strong and supports prospects for less aggressive policy easing by the Federal Reserve (Fed). This, in turn, might cap the downside for the Greenback in the near term. Markets are pricing in about 96% odds of a 25 basis points (bps) rate cut by the Fed, according to CME's FedWatch Tool.

Traders will keep an eye on the US Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index, which is due later on Thursday. On Friday, the US employment data will take center stage, including the Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP), Unemployment Rate, and Average Hourly Earnings.
