“We suspect that any euro downside will likely be mirrored in a weaker EUR/CHF rather than EUR/USD. Indeed, the franc has been historically well correlated to movements in BTP rates and may also benefit from a further escalation in global trade tensions as well as ECB easing. Our 3Q19 forecast for EUR/CHF is 1.07.”
