FXstreet.com (Córdoba) – The Dollar extended its rally against the Swiss Franc and rose above 1.0500 for the first time since last Thursday.

“Swiss Franc is slowly losing past strength, and the cross seems to have found a temporal bottom around 1.0350 area, still far from confirming a bullish corrective rally” Valeria Bednarik, chief analyst at FXstreet.com said.
