What impacts the GBP/CHF exchange rate
The GBP/CHF forex pair is the symbol for trading the Pound Sterling against the safe haven currency Swiss Franc, and trades two of the most popular currencies in the forex market against each other. The GBP, while one of the majors, has seen considerable volatility in recent years owing to Brexit-related uncertainties. On the other hand, the CHF as a safe haven currency makes gains at times of heightened geopolitical tensions, trade tensions and other uncertainties that impact the global economy at large. The GBP/CHF currency pair also experiences significant price action on the release of key economic data from the UK and Switzerland, including GDP, employment, inflation, retail sales, business confidence and trade balance. In addition, changes to the monetary policy and interest rates by the Bank of England (BOE) and the Swiss National Bank (SNB) can also drive fluctuations in the value of the GBP and the CHF respectively. As a safe haven currency pair, the GBP/CHF turns bearish in times of higher uncertainty in global markets, or whenever markets trade with a risk-off sentiment. On the other hand, whenever the risk-on sentiment in markets is strong, this currency pair trades bullish. Positive developments related to Brexit also give this pair a boost and make it trade bullish.
