The Pound to Franc exchange rate might be in rarefied air at current levels, with one Swiss private bank predicting it will fall over the remainder of the year.

A leading Swiss bank tells clients to expect notable downside in the Pound to Franc exchange rate over the course of 2024.

The Euro to Franc exchange rate is set for a bounce through the coming European Central Bank decision and could eventually move back above parity.

The Swiss Franc should be in demand over the coming days say strategists at RBC Capital Markets and Barclays.

The Swiss Franc will overcome recent weaknesses and can count on another 50 basis point interest rate hike at the Swiss National Bank (SNB), according to a new analysis.

"The external environment has improved substantially, so we think investors should take profit on our short GBP/CHF trade recommendation"

The Swiss Franc is forecast to remain strong in 2023 on the back of a resilient domestic economy and its inflation advantage says Swiss private bank, J. Safra Sarasin.

The Swiss Franc has turned the major currency league table on its head to become the second best performer of 2022 but it could rise further against Sterling and may even have scope to push GBP/CHF back to 1.0555 in the months ahead, according to analysts at Nomura.

The Swiss Franc is tipped to make another push higher against the Euro and Pound over the coming weeks, but economists say 2023 will see a broader retreat by one of the world's favoured safe-havens.

Switzerland's Franc fell on Thursday after the Swiss National Bank (SNB) raised its interest rate for a second occasion but signaled through its forecasts for inflation that further increases shouldn't be taken for granted.

The Euro to Franc exchange rate will end the year back above parity says a foreign exchange analysts at one of Europe's largest banks.

The Swiss Franc has continued its ascent to top the major currency league table over multiple horizons thanks to a helping hand from the Swiss National Bank (SNB) that could be most bearish for the likes of GBP/CHF, USD/CHF, EUR/CHF and JPY/CHF in the weeks and months ahead.

The Swiss Franc topped the major currency league table this week while also ascending through the rankings for 2022 following a landmark Swiss National Bank (SNB) policy change that could weigh further on the likes of GBP/CHF, USD/CHF and EUR/CHF in the weeks and months ahead.

HSBC says it dosn't anticipate the EUR/CHF exchange rate falling back to parity, instead they now see looming Franc weakness.

Switzerland’s Franc has risen against the Euro and many other European counterparts thus far in 2022 but with the tectonic plates of the global interest rate landscape shifting steadily, it may find itself at growing risk of a depreciation against a range of currencies as the year goes on.

The Swiss Franc was little changed against the Dollar and Pound on Thursday following the March monetary policy decision of the Swiss National Bank (SNB), which has left the outlook for USD/CHF hinged on the recovery prospects of the all-important EUR/USD and EUR/CHF exchange rates.

The Franc appeared to reach an intermediate plateau in its year-to-date descent on Friday as the safe-haven store of value slipped in front of Sterling and the Swedish Krona, but a looming period of divergence between central banks could be about to set the Swiss currency onto the slides again as soon as next week. 

The Swiss Franc remained the best performing major currency of 2020 on Friday even as it underperformed intraday, although Swiss National Bank (SNB) intervention is likely to keep the Euro-to-Franc rate above the year’s lows, according to Capital Economicsand Commerzbank, even if its recovery prospects are uncertain.
