The US dollar traded at its highest levels in more than four years against the Swissie as markets now turn their attention towards US Labour Market report due tomorrow as also on US CPI and retails sales data due later this week. 

The US dollar index, measuring the relative strength of the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, climbed to multi-year tops and posted fresh intraday highs at 92.50 levels, up 0.27% on the day.
