Meanwhile, the ISM Manufacturing PMI dropped slightly to 48.7, a marginal decline from March 49.0. The index remains in the territory of the retreat, along with new orders and components of production, while the alphabetic work improved slightly from 44.7 to 46.5, indicating a soft but continuous reduction in factory payrolls.

Technical analysis
Technically, the USD/CHF continues to rise higher after reversing from lows last week. The pair climbed above the 10-day EMA and now tries to resist near 0.9000 rotation levels. The short-term momentum favors the reverse, even though the broader trend remains mixed. The support can be seen at 0.8920, followed by 0.8880 and 0.8840. Upside down, the resistance is located at 0.9000 and 0.9040. The ongoing strength above these levels will open the path to March highs near 0.9080.
In the labor market showing the signs of softening and forcing inflation continuing, the next moves from the Fed are increasingly dependent on the data. All eyes now turned to the April Nonfarm Payrolls report, which could provide the next direction of pushing for USD/CHF. Until then, the pair can remain rangbound but tilt toward moderate acquisitions.
