The Swiss Franc, Switzerland's official currency, is highly correlated with the Euro due to the Swiss economy's reliance on the Eurozone. As a safe-haven asset, the CHF tends to strengthen during market stress. The Swiss National Bank meets quarterly to set monetary policy, targeting an annual inflation rate below 2%. Macroeconomic data releases in Switzerland are crucial for assessing the economy and CHF valuation.
High economic growth, low unemployment, and confidence are favorable for CHF, while weakening momentum could lead to depreciation.
