Will <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifcmarkets.com\/en\/trading-conditions\/forex\/usdchf\">USDCHF<\/a> rate edge up?<\/p>\n<p>Swiss National Bank repeatedly said it is interested in weaker national currency. It has maintained negative interest rate of -0.75% since 2015. Andrea Maechler does not exclude the rate may go further negative if \u201cpositive outweighs negative\u201d for economy. Previously SNB said it was not planning to limit the balance. It means the Bank is ready to pump francs to the economy and for currency interventions. At the same time, bank\u2019s monetary policy is aimed at reaching positive inflation with keeping low unemployment level. Meanwhile, deflation of -0.2% annually was recorded in Switzerland in October 2016. Unemployment remained low at 3.3%. We believe this encourages further monetary easing by SNB in future. In theory, victory of Democrat Hillary Clinton may make US dollar stronger in short time. Next significant economic data will come out in Switzerland on November 16 \u2013 ZEW investor confidence index for November. The next SNB meeting will take place on December 2016. No change in rate is anticipated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: none;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ifcmarkets.com\/uploads\/images\/08-11-2016.png\" alt=\"USDCHF\" width=\"660px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"emailSummary\">On the daily chart <b>USDCHF: D1<\/b> is struggling for returning to the rising channel.

This level may serve the point of entry. The initial stop-loss may be placed below the last fractal low at 0.967. Having opened the pending order we shall move the stop to the next fractal low following the Parabolic and Bollinger signals. Thus, we are changing the probable profit\/loss ratio to the breakeven point. The most risk-averse traders may switch to the 4-hour chart after the trade and place there a stop-loss moving it in the direction of the trade. If the price meets the stop-loss level at 0.967 without reaching the order at 0.979, we recommend cancelling the position: the market sustains internal changes which were not taken into account.<\/p><div id=\"inves-2633637744\" class=\"inves-in-content inves-entity-placement\"><hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads_header\">\r\n<p style=\"font-size:10px; float:left; color:#666;\">Free Reports:<\/p><\/div>\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads\"> \r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/graph_techs_PD.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t     <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><b><u>Get Our Free Metatrader 4 Indicators<\/u><\/b><\/a> - Put Our Free MetaTrader 4 Custom Indicators on your charts when you join our Weekly Newsletter<\/p><br><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cot_pie_80.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t    <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><b><u>Get our Weekly Commitment of Traders Reports<\/u><\/b><\/a> - See where the biggest traders (Hedge Funds and Commercial Hedgers) are positioned in the futures markets on a weekly basis.<\/p><br><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<br><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"emailSummary\" style=\"margin-top: 15px !important;\">Summary of technical analysis<\/h2>\n<table style=\"border: solid 1px black;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><b>Position<\/b><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">Buy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><b>Buy stop<\/b><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">above 0.979<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><b>Stop loss<\/b><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">below 0.967<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Market Analysis provided by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifcmarkets.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">IFCMarkets<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By IFCMarkets US elections may affect US dollar rate member of Swiss National Bank board of directors Andrea Maechler said higher Fed rate will help it limit growth of Swiss franc by means of redirection of capital flows from Switzerland to the US.
