Swiss Franc Advances Against Majors
(RTTNews) - The Swiss franc climbed against its most major counterparts in the European session on Monday, as fading chances for early interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve dampened investor sentiment.
U.S. consumer and producer inflation came in stronger than expected in January, prompting investors to scale back their expectations for rate cuts this year.
The minutes from the Federal Reserve's January policy meeting will be published on Wednesday.

The franc recovered to 0.8799 against the greenback during European deals. It is likely to locate resistance around the 0.86 level.
