USD/CHF has been quite volatile and indecisive below 0.9980-1.0050 area from where it is expected to push a bit lower before starting to push higher in the coming days. USD has been the dominant currency in the pair but as of the recent Trade War tensions and Political aspects, it is struggling to maintain its momentum in the process.

CHF has been struggling with the recent economic reports which lead the currency to be a bit weak in comparison to USD earlier.

Ahead of the Unemployment Rate report to be published tomorrow which is expected to be unchanged at 2.6%, CHF is expected to maintain the bearish momentum in the pair for the time being.
