USD/CHF continues marching higher and reaches 0.9200

  • US dollar remains bid and reaches one-month highs at 0.9200
  • The dollar rallies for the sixth consecutive day amid US elections’ uncertainty.

The dollar has extended its uptrend against the Swiss Franc, buoyed by broad-based USD strength on Monday, to appreciate nearly 0.5% so far today and hit levels past 0.9200 for the first time in one month

US elections’ uncertainty boosts the dollar

The greenback is going through an impressive six-day rally against the Swissie with the investors cutting down their positions, wary of a contested election in the US. The cautious market mood ahead of the election day has reflected on a generalized US dollar strength, which has pushed the US dollar index to one-month highs.

The market anticipates a victory of Joe Biden, that might undermine the US dollar’s strength, assuming that the Democrats will, approve a large stimulus package. Nevertheless, investors are sceptical about the polls, after the failure on predicting Trump’s victory four years ago, which is sinking demand for risky assets.
