Overview:
USD/CHF is consolidating with bullish bias after hitting two-week high of 0.9382 on Friday. The rate is supported by positive USD sentiment after U.S. November non-farm payrolls rose more-than-expected 146,000 (vs. +80,000 forecast) and unemployment rate dropped to 7.7% from October's 7.9% (vs. forecast for no change); signs of progress in U.S. budget talks increased hopes over China economic recovery after upbeat China's November retail sales and industrial output data; But USD/CHF gains tempered by broadly weaker demand for safe-haven USD amid positive risk appetite.
