During the morning session, USD/CHF is showing a slight decline, consolidating below the psychological level of 0.8000 amid expectations of an imminent end to the U.S. government shutdown that has lasted since October 1. Earlier this week, the Senate approved a bill to resume government funding through the end of January. Investors are cautious that once the shutdown ends, the release of updated macroeconomic data — much of which may prove negative — could increase market volatility. Meanwhile, they are evaluating labor market data from Automatic Data Processing (ADP), which showed private-sector employment falling from +14.25K to –11.25K due to large-scale layoffs initiated by the Republican administration of President Donald Trump.

EUR/USD. The euro shows a restrained rise in the EUR/USD pair, extending the upward momentum from the previous day that led to an update of the local highs from October 30. Traders are assessing October’s inflation data from Germany: the annual consumer price index settled at 2.3%, and the monthly reading at 0.3%, which aligns with the previously stated position of the European Central Bank (ECB), allowing it to maintain its monetary policy unchanged.

The euro shows mixed dynamics in the EUR/USD pair, holding near the 1.1560 mark as market activity remains subdued ahead of the expected end of the U.S. government shutdown. Earlier reports confirmed that the Senate managed to approve a new short-term funding bill extending federal government operations until the end of January 2026. According to available information, representatives from both the Democratic and Republican parties reached an agreement to hold an additional vote on healthcare subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in December. The bill now needs approval from the House of Representatives and the signature of President Donald Trump, which will officially end the shutdown that has lasted more than 40 days.

The USD/CAD pair is trading within a medium-term uptrend. Last week, the price reached a nine-month high near 1.4140 but has since begun an active downward correction over the past two sessions. The Canadian dollar is supported by strong labor market data: in October, employment increased by 66.6K versus a forecast of –5.0K, while the unemployment rate fell from 7.1% to 6.9%. Analysts believe this reflects the economy’s adaptation to tariff shocks and the ongoing global trade crisis. In addition, traders now estimate a 90% probability that the Bank of Canada will refrain from further monetary easing at its December meeting.
