Fundamental overview:
USD/CHF is expected to trade in a higher range. It is underpinned by the positive dollar sentiment and ultra-loose Swiss National Bank's monetary policy. But CHF sentiment is boosted by the rise in Switzerland ZEW-Credit Suisse economic sentiment indicator to minus 4.9 in December from minus 7.6 in November. USD/CHF gains are also tempered by the franc demand on buoyant CHF/JPY cross.
