The dollar has extended its rally against the Swiss franc for the fourth consecutive day. The pair has accelerated its uptrend favoured by the broad-based USD strength, to appreciate about 0.65% on the day, reaching two-week highs at 0.9170.
US dollar appreciates across the board
The dollar is outperforming its main peers on Thursday, buoyed by the combination of concerns about the spread of COVID-19 cases in Europe and the US and the uncertainty about the outcome of the US elections, less than a week before the voting day.
Furthermore, the upbeat US macroeconomic data, with the US Gross Domestic Product expanding at a 33.1% annualized pace in the third quarter and the weekly jobless claims dropping beyond expectations, has offered additional support to an already strong US dollar.
