EUR/CHF is recovering; eyes on 1.2200 again
FXStreet (Moscow) - EUR/CHF recovers from losses as the cross opened at 1.2182 and touched Asian high at 1.2189
CHF reacts to Draghi
Swiss CPI came out largely unchanged and was left largely unnoticed by the markets as EUR/CHF continued to consolidate close to its opening levels on Thursday. The ECB monetary policy decision brought in some excitement due to EUR selling across the board. The cross dropped to 1/2172, but managed to recover to 1.2182 by the end of the day. Today both Swiss and European calendars are next to empty, so EUR/CHF traders should look for clues in geopolitics. Cross is positively correlated with the European stock market so eased geopolitical fears and EZ stock growth will help the cross to keep close to 1.2200.
