Forex: USD/CHF looking at 0.9200 door
Yesterday's upmove was capped by the 0.9200 mark, where it has found resistance and pulled the USD/CHF down to 0.9175 area. The market is currently down by -0.08% on the day as investors await Switzerland Real Retail Sales.
Earlier, German trade data came out with wider than expected surplus (€16.8B vs €14.8B consensus) and current account (€17.3B vs €17.0B consensus). December (MoM) exports (+0.3% vs +1.3% consensus) and imports (-1.3% vs -1.4% consensus) disappointed.
“Intraday rallies are likely to now find that 0.9206/18 offers nearby resistance (minor Fibonacci retracement and 55 day ma) and we may see a slight pull back from here”, wrote Commerzbank analyst Karen Jones, pointing to the clearing of 0.9390 to negate the longer term negative bias.
