What is USD/CHF trading?
Few forex pairs can match the enduring popularity of the United
States Dollar/Swiss Franc pair. It is the choice of numerous
investors – no matter their level of experience. Based on
research
from the Bank for International Settlements
in 2019, the United States Dollar (USD) and Swiss Franc (CHF)
are among the most liquid and actively traded currencies in the
world.
As such, it's no wonder the USD/CHF pair has a strong presence
on the global forex market. It shows the value of USD against
CHF and is often regarded as a safe haven by traders in times of
uncertainty and instability. One unique feature that can make
USD/CHF such a stable choice is the long-standing neutrality and
resilience of Switzerland and its national economy
Key drivers of USD/CHF prices
With FXOpen, trade USD/CHF with CFDs. It might not
necessarily be the most liquid or volatile forex
option – but don't be fooled into thinking it offers
little potential for prospective investors. Historically, in times of global uncertainty,
the value of CHF has appreciated as money flows in to Switzerland pushing up demand for the
Swiss Franc.
As a key banking centre in Europe, there are strong
economic ties between Switzerland and the US. So,
traders should note key indicators from both nations
when you trade USD/CHF. Interest rates can be an
important one. In recent years, the
Swiss National Bank
has imposed one of the world's lowest interest rates
(-0.75%) – a reflection of the strong Swiss economy
on exporters.
