Even if sluggish data from the US and expectations of the Federal Reserve’s rate cut keep exerting downside pressure on the pair, absence of disappointment from recently published employment data increases the odds for an upbeat job report to arrive on Friday.
The US Independence day holiday results in the early Wall Street close and extended recently positive momentum towards cheering trade positive news that the US-China diplomats will be in touch for the trade matter during next week.

The headline inflation statistics indicate low price pressure as the CPI MoM is expected to decline -0.1% versus 0.3% prior while its yearly counterpart could retrace to 0.5% from 0.6% previous readouts.
In addition to the Swiss CPI, trade and political headlines affecting risk sentiment should also be observed closely.
