EUR/CHF challenging highs near 1.0350
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The Swiss franc is extending its offered tone today, prompting EUR/CHF to test 2-week highs near 1.0350.
EUR/CHF climbs amidst SNB rumours
Market chatter continues to give credit to SNB intervention as the main driver behind the recent upside in the European cross. In addition, and as rumours mount, it seems likely that the 1.05-1.10 band could be a potential target for the Swiss National Bank.
Ahead in the week, the key Swiss Leading Indicator tracked by the KOF institute is due tomorrow, with consensus seen a slight drop to 97.5 for the current month from 98.7.
EUR/CHF key levels
At the moment the cross is advancing 1.15% at 1.0357 facing the next hurdle at 1.0384 (high Jan.27) followed by 1.0400 (psychological level) and then 1.0430 (76.4% of 1.0651-0.9715). On the downside, a break below 1.0184 (low Jan.28) would expose 1.0083 (low Jan.27) and finally 0.9819 (low Jan.26).
