CHF to USD 2025 Forecasts

Analysis of recent franc → dollar forecasts for 2025. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest Swiss franc to US dollar performance and trends.

 

The current exchange rate for CHF to USD has recently reached 14-day highs near 1.2476, which is slightly above its three-month average of 1.2386. This fluctuation occurs within a relatively stable range of 1.2085 to 1.2641 over the past few months, suggesting minor volatility amidst various market developments.

Recent forecasts for the USD indicate that the currency has shown resilience due to strong manufacturing and service PMIs. However, analysts caution about potential downward pressure if Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell hints at a more dovish monetary stance in upcoming remarks. Economic data and U.S.-China trade tensions remain focal points that could significantly sway the dollar's trajectory.

On the Swiss side, the franc is influenced by several pressing challenges. Analysts highlight a concerning slowdown in the Swiss economy, which only grew by 0.1% in Q2 2025. This deceleration is partially attributed to a hefty 39% tariff on Swiss goods imposed by the U.S., which has upset fundamental export dynamics. The Swiss National Bank's decision to lower interest rates to 0% seeks to mitigate the strong franc's impact on the economy, while there is talk of reintroducing negative rates should conditions worsen.

Additionally, the International Monetary Fund has recently downgraded Switzerland's GDP growth forecast for 2025 from 1.7% to 1.3%, complicating the outlook further amidst ongoing geopolitical strains.

Both CHF and USD markets face unique pressures shaping their exchange rate. With the franc hitting recent highs, stakeholders should remain vigilant regarding incoming U.S. inflation data and the repercussions of U.S. trade policies. Exercising caution will be vital for individuals and businesses engaging in international transactions, given the unpredictability of these factors.
