Fundamental Overview:
USD/CHF--to consolidate with a bullish bias after hitting a one-year high 0.9359 this morning. Supported by the positive dollar sentiment as 6.4% rise in Conference Board U.S. employment trends index to 121.29 in August; more-than-expected $26.01 billion increase in U.S. July consumer credit (versus forecast +$17.5 billion), higher U.S. Treasury yields (10-year at 2.471% versus 2.460% late Friday, contagion from weak EUR on CHF and rise in Switzerland jobless rate to 3.0% in August from 2.9% in July; dovish Swiss National Bank's monetary policy. But USD/CHF gains are tempered by the franc demand on buoyant CHF/JPY cross amid the weak yen sentiment and higher-than-expected 0.1% on-year rise in August CPI (versus forecast +0.0%).
