FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The USDCHF is failing to steadily extend gains above 0.9100 and has been easing throughout the European morning. The market tested yesterday's lows of 0.9074 on SNB's Zurbrugg speaks. The pair is currently rising, at 0.9085.

Ahead is FOMC Duke's speech and ISM non-manufacturing PMI in the US. EMU retail sales disappointed by falling further, from -1.9% (revised from -2.6%) to -3.4% in December (YoY), instead of improving to -1.1% as expected. On the month, sales contracted -0.8%, instead of the -0.3% consensus.

UBS analysts are bearish on the USDCHF: "Any upside in the near-term should be limited. Resistance
is at 0.9162", wrote analyst Gareth Berry, pointing to support at 0.9002, breach of which would expose
0.8931.
