Overview:

USD/CHF is expected to trade with the bullish bias after hitting near-two-month low at 0.8701 on Thursday. It is underpinned by the lower-than-expected Switzerland 2Q consumer sentiment index (came in at +1.0 versus +3.0 forecast), lower-than-expected Switzerland April CPI (came in at 0.0% on-year versus +0.1% forecast), contagion from weak EUR on CHF, positive dollar sentiment and franc sales on soft CHF/JPY cross. But USD/CHF gains are tempered by the positions adjustment before the weekend. The Daily chart is positive-biased as bullish outside-day-range pattern was completed on Thursday, stochastics is rising from the oversold zone.
