The Swiss franc traded near $0.81 as traders weighed the prospect of higher inflation and tighter monetary policy from major central banks, alongside continued safe-haven demand. Swiss inflation doubled in August to 0.8% but the impact of higher energy prices is expected to be temporary, with electricity prices set to fall by around 4% from next year, according to the Swiss Federal Electricity Commission. Quarterly economic growth was confirmed at a 5-year high of 1.5%. On the monetary policy front, a Swiss Bankers Association survey showed that all bankers expect the SNB to keep its policy rate at 0% by year-end. Markets anticipated the first rate hike in June 2027, while most economists expect the first hike in early 2028. Meanwhile, speculation of further US-Japanese intervention in the foreing exchange market appears to have led carry trade investors to shift short positions to the swiss franc, as traders seek alternative safe-haven currencies as a funding vehicle.
