CHF to USD Rates - 2026 Forecast

Analysis of recent franc → dollar forecasts for 2026. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest Swiss franc to US dollar performance and trends.

 

CHF/USD Outlook:

The CHF/USD is currently above its 90-day average and near recent highs, supported by elevated safe-haven demand as global uncertainties persist. However, recent geopolitical tensions may add volatility to the currency pair.

Key drivers:

• Rate gap: The Swiss National Bank's (SNB) potential monetary easing to counteract the CHF's strength contrasts with the Federal Reserve's focus on maintaining higher interest rates.

• Risk/commodities: The USD's rise is fueled by safe-haven demand as reports of potential military action in Iran increase.

• One macro factor: Economic challenges from a government shutdown in the US could slow growth, potentially impacting USD strength.

Range:

The CHF/USD is expected to drift within its recent range, with potential to test the extremes based on geopolitical developments.

What could change it:

• Upside risk: A strong US GDP report could boost the USD significantly.

• Downside risk: Any intervention by the SNB to weaken the CHF might lower its value against the USD.
