What's on the economic calendar today?

CHF Bank Holiday

  • "The Swiss National Day is the national holiday of Switzerland, set on 1 August. Although the founding of the Swiss Confederacy was first celebrated on this date in 1891 and annually since 1899, it has only been an official holiday since 1994."
  • Heads up for CHF traders. Won't have too much of an impact on the EUR though.
