USD/CHF was down to 0.9160 from 0.9218 today as of 8:53 GMT, following yesterday’s rally from 0.9191 to the daily high of 0.9233. CHF/JPY went up from 83.44 to 83.76 after yesterday the currency pair dropped from 83.73 to the low of 83.31. Meanwhile, EUR/CHF ticked down from 1.2404 to 1.2372 today.
