CHF Mid-day Analysis

The September Swiss is finding moderate pressure this morning, and is showing little upside followthrough after bouncing from yesterday’s lows. Positive vibes from the EU has caused the Swiss Franc to lose substantial ground to the Euro this week and climb well above the 1.24 Swiss/Euro level, which may hamper the Swiss Franc from fully benefiting from any further weakness in the Dollar even if today’s US data ends up disappointing the market. The September Swiss may find support around the 106.79 area later today, with a new monthly low very much in the cards if today’s US data shows across-the-board positive results.
