CHF Mid-day Analysis

Carryover support from the Euro has helped to lift the Swiss Franc this morning, although prices remainwell below this week’s early highs. With safe-haven support likely to be a “back-burner” issue coming into the endof the year, the Swiss Franc remains vulnerable to further downside price action. The March Swiss may slidedown towards the 111.58 area later today, and may need to see weak US Jobless Claims data in order to regainstrong upside momentum.
