Strongest franc since euro depeg
News out of Switzerland has been quiet, yet the franc is outperforming many major currencies. In USD/CHF, July's trading range was last seen in 2015 - when the Swiss National Bank elected to distance the franc from the euro.
Switzerland's history with the euro
Now in 2023, the Swiss franc has returned to strength - without a drastic event to attribute the trend to. This time around, traders could be looking to CHF as a "safe haven" investment, a place to potentially avoid volatility. Under this hypothesis, no news is good news, and franc strength could continue.
