The franc dipped 0.3 percent against the euro compared to the New York close, trading at 1.2563 per euro at 0721 GMT.
Against the dollar the Swiss franc was unchanged at 0.8809 francs per dollar, as markets prepared to comb the minutes of the latest FOMC meeting for any indication of the future direction of US monetary policy.
