USD/CHF corrects daily losses after SNB Bulletin, remains in daily range
|Following the release of the SNB's Quarterly Bulletin, the USD/CHF pair staged a moderate recovery and turned flat on the day. As of writing, the pair is trading at 0.9750.
The SNB didn't offer anything surprising in the bulletin as it reiterated that the bank will remain active in the foreign exchange market as necessary while taking the overall currency situation into consideration and the negative interest rate policy is intended to make the CHF investments less attractive.
However, despite that recent rise, the pair continues to trade in a very tight 20-pip range on Wednesday, struggling to find its next direction amid a lack of catalysts. In fact, the economic calendar won't be featuring any significant data that could impact the pair's price action. The US Dollar Index and the market sentiment could remain as the driving factors. At the moment, the US Dollar Index is flat on the day at 97.40.
