Strong CHF pressures SNB to act – ING
|The Swiss Franc (CHF) remains strong, ING's FX analyst Chris Turner notes.
EUR/CHF may face intervention near 0.9200
"The Swiss National Bank continues to have its hands tied - seemingly reluctant to take the policy rate negative again and also to undertake large-scale FX intervention in the middle of trade discussions with the US."
"More trade volatility could send USD/CHF and EUR/CHF lower next week. With the strong Swiss franc adding to Switzerland's disinflation problem, it does look like the SNB will have to try and intervene in the 0.9200/9250 area in EUR/CHF after all."
