Swiss Franc Depreciates as Global Economy Looks Good

  March 25th, 2011 at 12:19

Swiss francThe Swiss franc dropped today on the speculation that the global economic growth will offset the influence of the European sovereign-debt issues and the crisis in Japan.

The two-day summit of the European Union leaders is nearing to conclusion today and is expected to bring some relief to the troubles of the EU smaller economies. The resolution of the debt crisis will be much welcomed after Standard & Poor’s downgraded Portugal’s credit rating yesterday.

USD/CHF advanced from 0.9081 to 0.9136 and EUR/CHF rose from 1.2872 to 1.2928 as of 12:19 GMT today.

  1. The debt crisis in Europe is really causing big problems to the whole Union. Really countries like Portugal, Greece and Ireland should pay more attention to their finances and their fiscal policy.

    What caused the nearly relentless march toward a stronger Swiss Frank? Will it continue to cheapen vs the dollar? What are the primary drivers of it’s value now?
