Weekly analysis of the Swiss Franc Euro pair
EUR/CHF in a Straitjacket
Hello everyone, Is this week to be marked with a milestone for the markets? A probable ceasefire signed in the Middle East, inflation figures slightly above expectations in the United States, and excellent corporate results on Wall Street have allowed the markets to record the best week of stock market gains since the beginning of the year.

Happy and prosperous New Year to the EUR CHF
Hello everyone, and all our best wishes for the new year 2025. We hope you enjoyed the holidays and have recovered from your feasts.

A chill wind blows over EUR CHF
We last left the EUR/CHF currency pair seemingly stable around the 0.9400 level. However, this was before the euro’s tumble against the dollar in the aftermath of the U.S. elections. While the “Trump trade” effect has waned in financial markets, the greenback’s strength continues to weigh heavily on the euro, especially today, which in turn impacts the EUR/CHF exchange rate.
