USD/CHF Bulls Target 0.83 Amid Rising Energy Concerns
The US dollar has seen significant gains against the Swiss franc as interest rates rise in America due to energy concerns. The heightened tensions between the US and Iran have led many to believe that a deal is unlikely, causing investors to focus on energy inflation worldwide.
This shift has pushed interest rates up globally, benefiting the US dollar due to its higher interest rate differential. The Federal Reserve's target range of 3.75%-4.00% is significantly higher than the Swiss National Bank's (SNB) 0% policy rate.
The next potential target for the USD/CHF pair is around 0.83, which has already been reached and subsequently taken off from previously. With the interest-rate differential in favor of the US dollar, it is likely that the bulls will continue to push towards this target.
