Currently trading around 0.9975 region, a mild greenback bounce back, with the key US Dollar Index erasing majority of daily gains, being an exclusive driver of the pair's recovery from closer to 5-week lows touched in the previous session.
However, the prevalent cautious investors' sentiment, as depicted by bearish trading bias surrounding European equity markets, is lending support to the Swiss Franc's safe-haven appeal and has failed to lift the pair beyond session top resistance near the 0.9985 region.
With an empty US economic docket, investors are likely to take cues from the speech by Chicago Fed President Charles Evans, due to speak about current economic conditions and monetary policy later during the NY trading session.
