The USD/CHF pair has ended its modest drop from 1.0063 early in the Asian session and continued its ascent. Prior to the risk-on profile losing traction, the asset demonstrated a juggernaut rally to around 1.0063.

The US dollar index (DXY) oscillates just below the immediate barrier of 113.00 and seems poised to break. In addition, 10-year US Treasury rates have reached a 14-year high of 4.14 percent on increasing wagers on a larger rate hike by the Federal Reserve (Fed).

The road plan offered by the president of the St. Louis Fed Bank, James Bullard, implies that the central bank will remain hawkish for a longer period of time. Fed policymakers anticipate that the central bank will raise interest rates by an extra 75 basis points (bps) when it meets on November 1 and 2, with a further 50 or 75 bps hike probable in December. He noted that the Fed must first determine the appropriate rate level before implementing data reliance.
