FXStreet (Edinburgh) – After bottoming out in the 1.0780 area, EUR/CHF has managed to regain the 1.0800 handle and advance to current session tops near 1.0820.
EUR/CHF lower on ECB, focus on SNB
The cross has dropped to the 1.0780 area following a dovish tone by ECB’s Draghi at his press conference on Thursday, where he hinted at the likeliness of further easing by the central bank in the near term, triggering as consequence a wave of selling pressure around EUR.
However, the downside in the cross appears somewhat limited, as the SNB has argued many times that it could intervene in the FX markets in case of heavy EUR-selling.
