The USD/CHF pair begins the week with minimal losses as risk aversion continues in the driver’s seat. US Wholesale inventories were unchanged in March, jumping 9.1% annually despite a first-quarter decline.

Traders are eying the Fed’s Senior Loan Officer Survey alongside US inflation data. The USD/CHF pair commenced the week with minimal losses of 0.15%, even though the latest round of inflation data in Switzerland suggested that the Swiss National Bank (SNB) could adopt a less hawkish approach.

The latest United States (US) data flashed a solid labor market, though traders are eyeing inflationary data during the week. At the time of writing, the USD/CHF is trading at 0.8897, below its opening price by 0.09%.

US equities trend lower, reflecting a sour mood with investors seeking safety moved to the CHF. The USD/CHF is set to continue to slump during the day, as the US Dollar Index (DXY), a gauge of the buck’s value vs. a basket of six currencies, is down 0.02%, at 101.190. US equities trend lower as investors are eying the latest Senior Loan Officer Survey (SLOOS) revealed by the Fed amidst the ongoing US banking turmoil.
