Investing.com - The U.S. dollar edged higher against the Swiss franc on Tuesday, as investors eyed the release of U.S. economic reports amid ongoing uncertainty over the future of the Federal Reserve's stimulus program.
USD/CHF hit 0.9350 during European morning trade, the session high; the pair subsequently consolidated at 0.9347, edging up 012%.
The pair was likely to find support at 0.9242, the low of June 21 and resistance at 0.9418, the high of June 10.
On Monday, Narayana Kocherlakota, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, said the central bank was committed to continuing its bond purchase program until the U.S. unemployment rate falls further.
Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher also downplayed market jitters over tapering as overdone.
The dollar had strengthened broadly after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said last week that the bank could begin slowing asset purchases by the end this year if the economy continues to pick up.
Meanwhile, sentiment found some support after officials at the People's Bank of China said that seasonal factors leading to tight liquidity would gradually fade, adding that the appropriate liquidity management will help keep lending growth at a reasonable level.
The Swissie was lower against the euro with EUR/CHF adding 0.12%, to hit 1.2257.
Later in the day, the U.S. was to release official data on durable goods orders and reports on home sales and consumer confidence.
