USD/CHF is down 0.17% to near 0.7990 in Friday’s Asian session. That is the FXStreet 03:22 UTC stamp, dateModified 21 August 03:22:40 UTC. Last night’s tape was 0.7998. Those are two stamps. They are not averaged. This is the same copy. It is not a second franc note.
The Swiss franc is firmer against the dollar as US debt concerns weigh, the same page writes, after a corrective bounce on Thursday.
USD/CAD is the other live dollar tape. Friday’s dollar index is the live DXY tape.
The same page says the Treasury long-end buyback on Wednesday cut yields and the dollar, then yields recovered most of that drop on the view the buyback is only a temporary fix. Gold stays the other live tape on that buyback.
Strategists at Brown Brothers Harriman, as reprinted there, said long-term yields “have retraced most of yesterday’s drop” while the dollar “has extended its decline.” The buyback, they write, is a debt-management swap: total debt stays the same, composition shifts toward newer, more liquid securities.
Live franc is on prices. The next stamps sit on the economic calendar.
