USD/CHF: Risk reversal drops the most in a month

The options market turns most bearish on the USD/CHF in a month, per the latest data from Reuters.

One-month risk reversal (RR) of USD/CHF, a gauge of calls to puts, snaps a four-day “zero figure” while declining the most since November 26, per Reuters. That said, the latest USD/CHF RR is -0.100 versus the -0.000 figure marked on Friday.

Although the RR suggests the market’s bearish bias, the USD/CHF prices keep the bounce off monthly low while rising for the second consecutive day, up 0.06% intraday near 0.9195 at the latest.

That said, the risk catalysts, mainly the Omicron woes and inflation chatters, direct short-term USD/CHF moves amid sluggish holiday-thinned trading sessions during the last days of 2021.
