USD/CHF sees a 30 pips-rally in last hour
Currently, the USD/CHF pair trades 0.18% higher at 0.9886, having tested hourly 50-SMA located at 0.9887. The major finally ended the consolidative mode seen in Asia and spiked to daily highs just shy of 0.99 barrier as the USD bulls fought back lost control and jumped back into the bids against its major competitors.
