Overview:
USD/CHF is expected to consolidate with bearish bias after hitting four-day low at 0.8823 on Tuesday. CHF sentiment is boosted by the drop in Switzerland March unemployment rate to 3.3% in March from 3.5% in February. USD/CHF is also undermined by the broadly weaker dollar undertone and franc demand on soft EUR/CHF cross. But USD/CHF losses are tempered by the franc sales on soft CHF/JPY cross amid positive yen sentiment and dovish Swiss National Bank's monetary policy stance. Daily chart is mixed as MACD is bullish, but stochastics is falling from overbought zone.
