USD/CHF: Strong Swiss Franc concerns – ING

The USD/CHF has broken below 0.7800, raising concerns in Zurich as the trade-weighted Swiss Franc approaches new all-time highs. Analysts suggest that if this trend continues, the Swiss National Bank may need to consider negative rates again. Resistance is noted at 0.7800/7810 for USD/CHF. NG Bank Global Head of Markets and Regional Head of Research for UK & CEE Chris Turner notes.

Swiss Franc strength raises alarms

"The fact that EUR/CHF is offered near 0.92 and that USD/CHF has broken under 0.7800 will be ringing alarm bells in Zurich."

"If this USD/CHF move is to continue, 0.7800/7810 should now prove resistance."
