Investors await the US private sector jobs report by ADP later today in search for signs of possible development, regarding non-farm payrolls data, that is expected on Friday.

Monday data showed that activity in manufacturing sector in the United States shrank for the first time in six months during May, which dimmed expectations that FED will embark on a scale back of its bond purchasing program some time later this year.

The Swiss franc was lower against the euro, with EUR/CHF pair up by 0.09% to 1.2398.
