The Swiss Franc (CHF) holds marginal gains against the US Dollar (USD) on Thursday, having given up about half of the daily appreciation following the release of cooler-than-expected Swiss Consumer Price Index (CPI) data.
The USD/CHF pair prolongs its weekly uptrend for the fifth consecutive day on Friday and touches over a two-week high, near the 0.7860-0.7865 region during the early European session amid a broadly firmer US Dollar (USD).
The USD/CHF pair attracts some buyers at the start of a new week and reverses Friday's decline to the 0.7760 area, or its lowest level since March 10. Spot prices, however, struggle to capitalize on the intraday move up and remain below the 0.7800 mark through the early part of the European session.
