FX.co ★ USD/CHF: Under pressure

Overview:
USD/CHF is consolidating after hitting three-day low of 0.9172 Tuesday as markets await U.S. FOMC interest rate decision. Swiss franc sentiment boosted after Switzerland's lower house of Parliament voted 126-67 against a plan which would allow the country's banks to skirt Switzerland's banking secrecy law and hand information to the U.S. Department of Justice about the undeclared holdings of their American clients as well as bank employees who assisted them. But USD/CHF downside is limited by reduced safe-haven appeal of franc amid positive investor risk sentiment. Daily chart is still negative-biased as MACD is bearish, stochastics is staying suppressed at oversold, 5- and 15-day moving averages are falling.
