Swiss Franc Slides on Prospect of Rate Rises Elsewhere
Original: Swiss Franc Slides on Prospect of Rate Rises Outside of Switzerland
The Swiss franc is weakening against other major currencies as expectations build that central banks outside Switzerland may raise interest rates, narrowing the gap in yields that has long supported the franc. Markets have historically treated the currency as a safe haven, so shifting rate expectations abroad are prompting investors to reassess their positions in the currency.
Why now: Interest rate expectations are shifting globally, changing the outlook for the safe-haven Swiss franc.
