Swissy strengthens following the euro

FXStreet (Moscow) - USD/CHF opened the day at 0.8970, posted 0.8976 session high, and retreated to 0.8959 by the moment.

SNB will have to react

Although the pair may start to prepare the positions for the Non-Farm Payrolls scheduled for release on Friday, the ECB meeting will be of highest importance for the Swissy. And we already see the currency following the moves of the euro in the morning. The thing is that the SNB will have to react to additional easing of the European central bank in order to keep the Swissy exchange rate under control. Thus, high volatility for the pair is not ruled out for today with support coming at 0.8953, and resistance at 0.8988.
