CHF Mid-day Analysis

The September Swiss continues to slide lower this morning, and has now reached a new 1-week low early in today’s trading. Recent progress with Euro zone and German economic data has led to the Swiss Franc losing further ground to the Euro over the past few sessions, although any sort of tangible improvement with global risk appetites will help to put the brakes on this morning’s losses. The September Swiss may find support around the 107.64 level later this morning, and will be hoping for a “risk on” mood to develop throughout global markets in order to recover a sizable portion of this week’s losses.
