Fundamental view
Switzerland’s KOF (Konjunkturforschungsstelle) Leading Indicator probably improved to a reading of 101 in July from 100.4 in the previous month. It includes three different modules – core GDP, which excludes sectors such as banking and construction and represents about 92% of the overall economic output, Banking module and Construction module. The report is scheduled for publication at 7:00 GMT. Higher than expected readings would boost demand for the Swiss franc.
