The USD/CHF pair is playing around the magical figure of 1.0000 in the early Tokyo session amid a dismal market mood due to intensifying Russian attacks on Kyiv. Investors are channelizing their funds into the US dollar index (DXY) from the risk-sensitive currencies to play the risk-off market theme. US indices will open on Tuesday after an extended weekend and will prepare for the mega event of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) ahead.

The mighty DXY has turned sideways around 113.20 after establishing above the 113.00 hurdle and will display movements on further developments in Russia-Ukraine tensions. In retaliation for the damage to the Crimea bridge by the Ukrainian army, Russia has intensified missile attacks at Kyiv. Reports from Reuters cited that Russia has launched its most widespread air strikes since the start of the Ukraine war, raining cruise missiles on busy cities during rush hour and knocking out power and heat.

Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden has pledged to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that its economy will provide advanced air systems in response to Russia’s intensified missile attacks, as reported by Reuters.

On the Swiss franc front, investors are awaiting the speech from Swiss National bank (SNB) Chairman Thomas J. Jordan, which is due on Tuesday. SNB policymaker is expected to provide cues for the likely monetary policy action ahead. It is worth noting that the central bank announced a 75 basis point (bps) interest rate hike in September, which pushed the interest rates into positive territory to 0.5%. The SNB holds one more monetary policy for the remaining 2022, which is scheduled for December month.

EUR/USD remains offered below 1.1600, seems vulnerable near multi-month low

The EUR/USD pair struggles to capitalize on the overnight bounce from the 1.1530 region, or the lowest level since November 2025, and lower for the third consecutive day on Wednesday. Spot prices slide back below the 1.1600 mark during the Asian session and seem vulnerable to slide further.

GBP/USD slips below key averages as geopolitical risks mount

GBP/USD fell about 0.35% on Tuesday, settling around 1.3350 after slipping below the 200-day Exponential Moving Average for the first time since early December. The pair has pulled back sharply from its late-January high near 1.3870, shedding over 500 pips in a series of lower highs and lower lows.

Gold bounces back toward $5.200 amid sustained safe-haven flows

Gold bounces back toward $5,200 in Wednesday's Asian session, moving away from an over one-week low. Sustained safe-haven flows, amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, act as a tailwind for the bullion. However, a bullish US Dollar and reduced bets for more aggressive easing by the US Fed might keep a lid on the non-yielding yellow metal ahead of the US ADP report and ISM Services PMI data due later in the day.
