USD/CHF snapped four-day losing streak in Asia

FXStreet (Mumbai) - The USD/CHF pair snapped four-day losing streak in Asia as the USD was offered across the board after the Fed minutes turned out to be non-event for the markets.

Rejected at 1.02, supported by hourly 50-MA

The pair was rejected at the 1.02 handle, but appears to have found at the hourly 50-MA located at 1.0155 levels. The pair clocked a high of 1.0220 levels in the NY session before turning lower as the USD bulls felt disappointed after Fed minutes merely echoed the message conveyed by the Oct statement.

Ahead in the day, the spot may continue its downward journey if the European desks continue to ditch the US dollar.
