Swiss Franc: Range trading persists against US Dollar – UOB

United Overseas Bank (UOB) strategists Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann note that USD/CHF remains in a tight range in the short term, with intraday levels clustered around 0.8300. Their 1–3 week view maintains a broader consolidation band, while the 1–3 month outlook suggests the pair could continue rebounding but lacks momentum to revisit its July peak.
