USD/CHF snaps four-day downtrend, grinds higher around the intraday top of 0.9426 as sellers retreat from the lowest levels since April, marked the previous day. In doing so, the Swiss currency (CHF) pair ignores recently positive options market signals ahead of the preliminary readings of the US Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index (CSI) for August.

That said, one-month USD/CHF risk reversal (RR), a difference between the call options and the put options, prints the strongest negative figures since July 29.

With this, the daily options market gauge turned out to be -0.015 while the weekly RR prints the -0.010 mark. It should be noted that the USD/CHF RR for the week jumped the most in five weeks by the end of last Friday.
