USD/CHF retreats slightly from half-yearly lows

Currently, the USD/CHF pair trades modestly flat at 0.9535, recovering from fresh session lows struck at 0.9526 some minutes ago. The major is seen making minor-recovery attempts from multi-month lows, although the recovery remains capped by 0.9550 levels as the US dollar trades broadly muted against its major competitors. The USD index, which measures the relative value of the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, now trades +0.02% at 93.98, flat-lined around 94 handle over the past few hours.
