CHF: Rallying Well Off Lows, EUR/CHF on Track to Finish Flat
Apr-14 15:33
Having been sold through much of the European morning, CHF weakness has partially reversed into the close, with EUR/CHF on course for a flat finish after trading with gains of as much as 1% ahead of the US crossover.
Helping drive the move will have been the upside of ~150 pips or so in CHFJPY into the WMR fix, after a generally muted session with few market-moving headlines.
While firmer global equities will have been bearish CHF, the weakness off the best levels for US stocks futures has proved only minimal, leaving CHF moves here likely flow- or order-driven rather than a fundamental run higher for the currency.
This leaves EUR/CHF as a notable standout in major assets in that it has reversed only a very small part of the post-Liberation Day U-turn losses. As a result, prices are within range of the bear trigger at Friday's 0.9222 low and a series of horizontal supported tested twice last year. Slippage through here would be the lowest rate (again) since the removal of the CHF peg in 2015.
