USD/CHF advances further to test 0.9950

The US dollar caught fresh bids versus its Swiss franc over the last hour, driving USD/CHF higher to reclaim 0.9950 levels.

USD/CHF eyeing a decisive break above 0.9960

Currently, the USD/CHF pair trades +0.16% higher near fresh session highs of 0.9951, having found strong support just ahead of 0.99 handle. The USD/CHF pair is seen consolidating the upside, as the bulls gear up for a run-up towards parity amid ongoing bullish momentum seen in the US dollar versus its six major peers.

Meanwhile, the USD index regains poise and jumps +0.15% to retest daily tops posted previously at 98.81 levels.

Nothing of note for the major in the European session and hence, attention turns towards the US macro updates due later in the NA session.
