Currency sentiment: CHF - Bearish, EUR - Neutral
Reference time frame: Short-term
The recently released economic data for the Swiss Franc (CHF) shows a mixed picture. While the GDP (QoQ) for Q4 came in line with expectations at 0.3%, the KOF Leading Indicators for February fell short of forecasts at 101.6. However, the GDP (YoY) for Q4 exceeded expectations at 0.6%. This mixed data could lead to a bearish sentiment for the CHF in the short term as investors may interpret the indicators as signaling potential economic weakness.
On the other hand, the Euro (EUR) data for Spanish CPI and HICP both met forecasts at 2.8% and 2.9% respectively. This could lead to a neutral sentiment for the EUR in the short term as the data does not show any significant surprises that could sway investor sentiment.
Overall, the recent economic data releases for the CHF and EUR suggest a bearish sentiment for the CHF and a neutral sentiment for the EUR in the short term. Investors will closely monitor future economic indicators to assess the impact on these benchmark currencies.
