Listen to Janet

The Swissy is in two minds trying to get some fuel from the euro, but being pressure by the buck strength. Draghi was reserved and repeated everything what we have already heard earlier. However, this was enough for the euro to slide back to its 1.36 zone of comfort. It helped USD/CHF to reverse the move and come back above 0.8920 area. Besides, the expectations of Janet Yellen’s testimony supported the buck, and may support it again given the rising rumors about the FOMC members getting ready for more aggressive stance. If so, the pair may go up with initial target at 0.8953.
