USDCHF · Asia session · Published Oct 2, 2026, 12:10 AM

USDCHF last traded at 0.83082, inside an Asia range of 12.9 pips between 0.83040 and 0.83170. The session open at 0.83142 sits 6 pips above, and the round number 0.83000 sits 8.2 pips below.

New York traded a 68.2 pip range from 0.83596 down to 0.82913 and closed at 0.83102. An ordinary day of the last 14 covers 50.8 pips, and the latest day sits at the 95th percentile of the last 44 days we hold, an unusually wide day for this market.

USD Non-Farm Employment Change is scheduled for 12:30 UTC, forecast 89K against a previous 162K. Over 22 past releases of that family USDCHF moved 24.51 pips on average in the first 15 minutes and 23.65 in the first 60, in either direction.

Large speculators are net short 26752 contracts, a change of 2236 on the week and the 8th percentile of the last 52 weekly reports. The headline classifier grades a payrolls preview at impact 2 of 3, and gives the same grade to a Forex Today piece on the US NFP.
