Mid-Day Report: Swiss Franc Soars on Safe Haven Flows

Swiss franc continues to ride on wave of risk aversion trade and strengthens across the board today. Its strength impressively surpasses yen and dollar. Some cites the strong UBS consumption indicator, which rose to two year high of 1.86 as a trigger for swissy's strength. But it's believed that safe-haven flow from other European countries are the main driving force. Euro hit another record low against swissy and is now sustaining below 1.3 level. Sterling also dives against swiss franc after taking out 1.58 support level. In addition to that, Hungary's forint also fell to a record low against the swiss franc. We'd anticipate more upside in CHF in near term.

USD/CHF Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.0229; (P) 1.0269; (R1) 1.0300; More.

USD/CHF's down trend resumes today and reaches as low as 1.0164 so far. Intraday bias remains on the downside and further decline should be seen to lower trend line support (now at 1.0040). But we'd anticipate strong support at around parity to contain downside, at least initially. On the upside, break of 1.0308 resistance will in turn argue that a short term bottom is formed and bring recovery towards 1.0624/39 resistance zone.

Trade Idea Update: GBP/USD – Sell at 1.5470

Although the British pound has fallen after brief recovery, loss of near term downward momentum should prevent sharp fall below 1.5330/35 (50% projection of 1.5910 to 1.5373 measuring from 1.5599) and reckon 1.5322 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement of 1.4228 to 1.5999) would limit downside, bring minor correction later.
