USD/CHF leans bullish above 0.9800 on firmer options market signals, Swiss GDP eyed

USD/CHF grinds higher around 0.9830, picking up bids to reverse the previous day’s pullback from a seven-week top, amid broad US dollar strength.

Also keeping the pair buyers hopeful are the options market’s signals, as well as optimism ahead of the second quarter (Q2) Swiss GDP, up for publishing on Monday.

It’s worth noting that the one-month risk reversal (RR), the spread of call versus puts, of USD/CHF printed the third weekly gain with the latest figures being 0.110. The daily RR, however, snapped a four-day uptrend with the -0.065 mark for Friday, per Reuters data.

Although the daily RR signals a corrective pullback of the USD/CHF pair, the strength of the weekly RR and broad challenges to risk keeps the pair buyers hopeful ahead of the key data.
