Investors expected it to drop by 0.1%.

The pair is expected to find support at 0.9925, and a fall through could take it to the next support level of 0.9870. The pair is expected to find its first resistance at 1.0010, and a rise through could take it to the next resistance level of 1.0040.

Amid no economic releases in Switzerland today, investor sentiment would be governed by global macroeconomic news.
