Fundamental overview:

USD/CHF is expected to trade in a lower range. It is undermined by softer USD sentiment (ICE spot dollar index last 86.95 versus 87.29 early Tuesday) after wider-than-expected U.S. September trade deficit of $43.03 billion (versus forecast $40.6 billion deficit), sharp drop in U.S. ISM-NY current-business index to 54.8 in October from 63.7 in September; lower U.S. Treasury yields (10-year at 2.335% versus% 2.346% late Monday); diminished investor risk appetite (VIX fear gauge rose 1.09% to 14.89, S&P 500 closed 0.28% lower at 2,012.1 overnight) as caution prevails ahead of the U.S. nonfarm payrolls report Friday, spillover strength from rebounding EUR on CHF and franc demand on buoyant CHF/JPY cross amid weak yen sentiment. But USD/CHF losses are tempered by the dovish Swiss National Bank's monetary policy.
