Today, USDCHF is trading 0.68% higher at 1.0016 after reaching fresh 3-month high of 1.0026.
Earlier today, softer than expected Swiss inflation readings helped to weaken the CHF as the year over year reading showed that inflation increased by 0.1% and below the forecast of 0.3% by economists. The monthly reading came in at -0.1% and below expectations of 0.1% in September. On the other hand, weak ADP employment data from the US for September didn’t influence the pair. Nor did the weakening stock markets, which tend to boost the Swiss Franc at times of stock market turmoil.
