USD/CHF is expected to consolidate with a bearish bias. It is underpinned by the positive dollar sentiment (ICE spot dollar index last 96.40 versus 95.69 early Friday) after bigger-than-expected 280,000 increase in U.S. May nonfarm payrolls (versus forecast +225,000), more-than-expected 0.3% on-month rise in U.S. May average hourly earnings (versus forecast +0.2%), although U.S. May unemployment rate came in higher-than-expected at 5.5% (versus forecast 5.4%), negative Swiss interest rates as well as threat of Swiss National Bank CHF-selling intervention. But USD/CHF upside move is limited by the franc demand on soft EUR/CHF cross.

Technical comment: The daily chart is mixed as stochastics is in bearish, but MACD is in a bullish mode.
