Fundamental overview:
USD/CHF is expected to trade in a lower range as markets await FOMC October meeting minutes (due at 1900 GMT) for details on the monetary policy committee's outlook on health of U.S. economy and Federal Reserve's intentions for interest rates.It is undermined by the spillover strength from euro on the Swiss Franc and franc demand on buoyant CHF/JPY cross. But USD/CHF losses are tempered by the dovish Swiss National Bank's monetary policy.
