EUR/CHF unchanged after Eurozone data

FXStreet (Mumbai) - The EUR/CHF pair remains largely unchanged post the Eurozone data as a drop in the unemployment rate may have negated the impact of the fall in the CPI.

EUR/CHF settles below 1.05 levels

The pair had clocked a high of 1.0516 earlier today. However, the EUR weakened ahead of the CPI data in anticipation of a drop in the cost of living in the Eurozone. Hence, we have not seen much reaction after the data was released. The preliminary Eurozone CPI for January came-in at -0.6%, against expected print of -0.5%, and down from the previous month’s final figure of -0.2%. Core inflation also slowed down to 0.5% against expected print of 0.7%.

However, the EUR may have found support from the dip in the unemployment rate to 11.4% in December.

EUR/CHF Technical Levels

The pair currently trades at 1.0442, after having hit a high of 1.0516 levels. The immediate resistance is seen at 1.0516, above which a major resistance is seen directly at 1.1476 (50-DMA). On the flip side, a break below 1.0375 could see the pair re-test 1.0252 levels.

Eurozone unemployment declines to lowest level since August 2012

The Eurozone seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate was 11.4 percent in December 2014, down from 11.5 percent in November 2014, and from 11.8 percent in December 2013, according to Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union.
