FXStreet (Mumbai) – The USD/CHF pair extends its overnight recovery mode into the European morning, as the USD bulls regained lost momentum while markets digest the recent US ADP data ahead of the upcoming Swiss retail sales data.

Currently, the USD/CHF pair trades 0.39% higher at fresh daily highs of 0.9768, bouncing-off a dip to 0.9728.

Later in the session, the major will be influenced by the Swiss retail sales ahead of a slew of US data-flow to be reported in the NY session. Switzerland’s retail trade is expected to rebound to 0.3% in August after a -0.1% decline seen in July.
