CHF Mid-day Analysis

Since putting the brakes on its late October downdraft, the Swiss Franc has coiled in a tightening pricepattern over the past few sessions which may be setting the stage for a breakout move late this week. ChronicSwiss deflation has ramped up market expectations that the SNB may start up fresh easing measures at theirDecember meeting, so the Swiss Franc may need a fresh infusion of safe-haven support to hold its ground abovethe recent lows. The December Swiss should find near-term support around the 109.36 area, but could be lookingat a much larger downside move if a dovish ECB creates a fresh source of pressure.
