It is underpinned by the positive dollar sentiment (ICE spot dollar index hit nine-year high 94.497 overnight, last at 94.21 versus 92.75 early Thursday) on divergent U.S. monetary policy stance versus other major central banks, negative Swiss interest rates, and threat of SNB CHF-selling intervention. But USD/CHF gains are tempered by the positions adjustment ahead of the weekend. Technical comment: Daily chart is mixed as MACD is in bearish mode, but stochastics is neutral, inside-day-range pattern was completed on Thursday.
