USD/CHF

With the SNB at 0.25% and UBS targeting 0.7800, the structural interest rate differential continues to compress in CHF's favour — any Fed dovish pivot would sharply accelerate the downtrend below 0.8200 support.

USDCHF is pressing the 0.8200 key round number as the Swiss franc extends a third consecutive daily gain against the dollar, with UBS projecting a decline to 0.7800 by year-end driven by structural dollar weakness.
