FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The Swiss franc is trading almost unchanged vs. its European peer at the end of the week, taking EUR/CHF to the 1.0870/65 band.

EUR/CHF navigating a narrow range

The cross keeps the trade between 1.0860 and 1.0880 so far, in spite of the positive daily performance of EUR. The single currency paid little attention to the flash inflation figures for the current month, coming in flat on a yearly basis, while Core CPI advanced 1.0% YoY.

In the meantime, the cross keeps its weekly gains so far and manages to revert two consecutive weeks of losses. Data wise in Switzerland, the KOF Leading Indicator has eased to 99.8 for the current month from September’s 100.3.
