Forex Market: EUR/CHF daily outlook

During Friday’s trading session EUR/CHF traded within the range of 1.2179-1.2202 and closed at 1.2195.

At 6:34 GMT today EUR/CHF was gaining 0.03% for the day to trade at 1.2199. The pair touched a daily high at 1.2201 at 3:55 GMT.

Fundamental view

Frances final annualized Gross Domestic Product probably expanded 0.8% during the last quarter of 2013, which would match the preliminary value announced on February 14th. The quarterly GDP probably rose 0.3% in Q4, also matching the preliminary result. The official figure is expected to be announced at 6:45 GMT. A higher than projected pace of growth would support the euro.

Euro zones preliminary annualized index of consumer prices, evaluated in accordance with Eurostats harmonized methodology, probably slowed down to 0.6% in March from 0.7% in February. The rate would still remain quite far from European Central Banks inflation target of 2%, which may prompt the central bank to introduce additional measures at its upcoming policy meeting later in the week. The official data is expected at 9:00 GMT. In case annualized consumer prices slow down more than projected, this would have a bearish effect upon the euro.

Meanwhile, Switzerlands KOF (Konjunkturforschungsstelle) Leading Indicator probably improved to a reading of 2.05 in March from 2.03 in February. It includes three different modules – core GDP, which excludes sectors such as banking and construction and represents about 92% of the overall economic output, Banking module and Construction module. The report is scheduled for publication at 7:00 GMT. Higher than expected readings would boost demand for the Swiss franc.
