15.09.201416:49 Forex Analysis & Reviews: Technical analysis of USD/CHF for Sep 15, 2014

Fundamental Overview:

USD/CHF is expected to trade in higher range.It is undermined by the positive USD sentiment on higher-than-expected preliminary University of Michigan U.S. September consumer sentiment index of 84.6 (versus forecast 83.0 and final-August 82.5), higher U.S. Treasury yields (10-year at 2.609% versus 2.551% late Thursday) as market participants anticipate a more hawkish tone from the Federal Reserve in its policy statement on Wednesday and by the CHF demand on buoyant CHF/JPY cross and on soft AUD/CHF, NZD/CHF, CAD/CHF crosses. But USD/CHF losses are tempered by the rising U.S. yields and dovish Swiss National Bank's monetary policy.
