The US dollar edged higher against the slightly weaker Swiss franc, as an unexpected contraction in Swiss consumer prices in August fueled speculation that the SNB will cut interest rates to negative levels in the coming months.
The pair edged up from Wednesday's low of 0.8025, but remains trapped in a tight range below the 0.8060-0.8070 area. Investors are cautious about placing large dollar bets ahead of key US fundamental data releases.
Swiss inflation remained stable, growing at an annual rate of 0.2% in August, unchanged from the previous month. However, monthly inflation contracted 0.1% for the first time since January, contrary to expectations for a flat figure. (alg)
