USD/CHF

The SNB's near-zero rate environment versus a hawkish Fed creates a rare structural carry tailwind for USD/CHF, but UBS's year-end 0.78 target signals institutional money remains positioned for USD weakness once trade-deal euphoria fades.

USDCHF has reclaimed the 0.8100 handle and is pushing toward the key 0.8160 macro wedge resistance, supported by hawkish Fed rhetoric from Chair nominee Warsh and a SNB in cautious easing mode — the policy divergence favours further USD upside.
