USD/CHF rises above 0.97, Euro Stoxx drops into losses
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The USD/CHF pair extended gains to trade around 0.9712 levels even though the pan-European Stoxx 600 equity index fell back into losses.
CHF underperforms
The Swiss Franc is trading under pressure, contradicting the strength seen in the other traditional safe haven assets like the Yen, Gold and Treasuries. The uncertainty ahead of Thursday’s Fed decision has kept the bid tone on the safe havens intact, however, moderate gains in the European stocks could have kept CHF weak.
It remains to be seen if the renewed signs of weakness in the European stocks help CHF rebound or the pair continues to move northwards.
USD/CHF Technical Levels
The immediate resistance is located at 0.9715 (10-DMA), above which the spot could test 0.9745 (5-DMA). On the other side, support is seen at 0.9682 (daily low) and 0.9642 (50-DMA).
