Swiss Franc: Safe-haven support limits losses against Euro – Commerzbank

Commerzbank’s Michael Pfister notes that EUR/CHF has dropped to a three‑month low as the Swiss Franc (CHF) recovers its earlier weakness driven by divergent central bank expectations.

Swiss Franc: Safe-haven support limits losses against Euro – Commerzbank

Commerzbank's Michael Pfister remarks that the EUR/CHF rate has hit a three-month low as Switzerland's currency recovers from its previous decline. The Swiss Franc's resilience is attributed to its strong public finances and status as a safe-haven currency. However, Pfister notes that the franc may struggle to gain further ground if the euro continues to weaken.

The Swiss National Bank (SNB) had previously hinted at possible intervention if the franc's value dropped too low, but this threat appears less potent now as the euro is weaker. PFISTER SUGGESTS THAT FURTHER APPRECIATION OF THE SNB COULD BECOME MORE DIFFICULT WITHOUT NEW STRESS IN THE EURO AREA.
