The Swiss franc eased against major currencies on Wednesday as market participants look to Swiss sentiment data and a Federal Reserve statement later in the session for clues about the Swiss and US economies.
Switzerland's closely-watched KOF indicator, an indicator of economic performance in six months' time, is expected to fall to 1.52 points in January from 1.60 in December, according to a Reuters poll.
The franc was slightly weaker against the euro at 1.6241 francs per euro, not far from an eight-year low at 1.6245 francs hit on Monday. A move above 1.6303 francs would mark the weakest level since the euro's launch. Against the dollar, the franc was some 0.11 percent weaker versus the New York close at 1.253 francs per dollar.
