Swiss Franc: Downside risks build against Yen as policy diverges – DBS
DBS Group Research strategist Philip Wee highlights growing downside risks in CHF/JPY after the cross failed to re-enter its February–July 198–204 range and slipped to 193.
DBS Group Research strategist Philip Wee has identified increasing downside risks in the CHF/JPY exchange rate, as the pair fell to 193, its lowest point since December. This decline can be attributed to monetary policy divergence, with the Bank of Japan expected to raise interest rates, while the Swiss National Bank maintains its 0% rate. This disparity in policy decisions reduces the Swiss Franc's yield appeal and increases the likelihood of a further decline towards around the 100-week moving average of 186.
