EUR/CHF Rises Despite Low Swiss Inflation, Rate Cut Expected

Swiss Inflation

Analysts report a steady rise in the EUR/CHF currency pair despite less than expected Swiss inflation figures. The Swiss National Bank (SNB) eyes a rate cut following the unsatisfactory Consumer Price Index (CPI) for February.

Lower limit triggers, chiefly 0.9500/0.9470 the previous week, are crucial for short-term support. On the contrary, short-term resistance is spotted above at 0.9650/0.9670. Market participants are keen on potential fallout from the SNB’s probable rate cut.

However, a swift recovery back above 0.9750 may placate the overwhelming bearish tendencies. Also, changes in economic indicators and other macroeconomic sentiments can substantially impact the market. As a precaution, prudent trading decisions and careful risk management are advisable.

The soon-to-be-released Swiss and Euro Zone growth data will likely sway the pair’s direction. Former SNB president, Jordan, suggests a positive path for the EUR/CHF pair, provided 0.9610 is surpassed. It might then drive towards prior highs at 0.9680 and 0.9775.
