FxWirePro- USDCHF Trade Idea

The currency pair gained momentum on board-based US dollar buying. It hit a low of 0.90073 and is currently trading around 0.91169. The intraday bias appears bullish as long as the support level at 0.9000 holds.

The US ISM Services PMI for December 2024 reached 54.1, compared to 52.1 the prior month, the sixth consecutive monthly increase in services. The Business Activity Index rose to 58.2, so business activity appears healthy. New Orders came in at 54.2, though, and growth was decelerating. The Employment Index was down at 51.4, meaning that job growth was slowing. Prices Paid stood at 64.4, the highest since early 2023, and reflected that service providers saw costs rise. Generally, it's quite expanding and resistant to stress. Hence data are crucially important to an economy.
