USD/CHF Soars to Multi-Month High Amid Policy Divergence and Geopolitical Tensions

The USD/CHF pair continued its upward trend, reaching its highest level since May 2025 during Asian trading on Monday. This marked a fourth consecutive session of gains for the pair.

The Swiss Franc has been under pressure due to the growing policy divergence between the Federal Reserve and the Swiss National Bank. The SNB kept its main policy rate unchanged at 0% in September, while the Fed maintained a hawkish stance after a 25 basis points rate increase.

Elevated U.S. yields and stronger expectations for additional Fed tightening have supported the U.S. Dollar. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have also contributed to the dollar's safe-haven appeal.
