The GBP/CHF is trading virtually unchanged at 1.3020 pinched between the 100 and 200 DMA. Both British Pound and Swiss Franc are up against the US Dollar as Trump suggested imposing tariffs on iron and aluminum, last week.
Next scheduled for the British Pound is a speech by Andrew Haldane, the Chief Economist at the Bank of England at 18.15 GMT in London. This could potentially affect the Pound. As a reminder, March 22, is a key date with the European summit expected to bring some conclusion to the trade deal between the European Union and the United Kingdom. Market participants will likely expect some volatility around this event.
Earlier in the European session, the Swiss CPI rose 0.4% m/m while increasing 0.6% y/y in February. However, the data had no direct impact on the GBP/CHF.
