EUR/CHF on the upper level as Syria’s jitters wane

FXstreet.com (Athens)- The EUR/CHF is trading higher today after risk-on sentiment got well back.

The EUR/CHF seems to be ahead of the ending of the recent pullback

While the monthly reads on Swiss unemployment and Swiss retail sales figures came in just about as expected fell entirely to affect the pair, as risk sentiment hits the “on” button again. The data regarding Europe let down investors today, as both Sweden and French released poor data. ECB's Liikanen, mentioned to say that “Increased liquidity needed to cut bank vulnerability.” Mostly and above all, it seems that the ‘swissie’ lost its appeal on news wires that suggest ““Syria welcomed Russian proposal to put its chemical weapons under international control and US military strike could be abating.”
