EUR/CHF up despite EUR-weakness

The cross is posting significant gains following the appreciation of the USD/CHF, all against a backdrop of a better sentiment in the US dollar. Data wise in the Alpine economy, the Employment Level, the Consumption Indicator gauged by UBS and Industrial Production are all due ahead in the week.

The cross is correcting lower from last week’s highs above 1.0800 the figure (the highest level after the SNB removed the cap) boosted by the increasing intervention in the markets by the SNB.
