SNB Won't Let EUR/CHF Fall
2021-08-17 • Updated
What happened?
It looks like the decline in EUR/CHF to 1.07 has got the attention of the Swiss National Bank (SNB). An increase in sight deposits by over 1 billion CHF in the past two weeks suggests that intervention has resumed. SNB’s goal is to avoid CHF strengthening. That is why if EUR/CHF drops down to 1.05, SNB will intervene.
At the moment, EUR/CHF correlates with EUR/USD. If EUR gets weaker as Federal Reserve tightens monetary policy, it will create issues for SNB.
According to experts’ opinion, EUR/CHF is going to consolidate between 1.05 and 1.1 in the middle-term perspective.
