Currently, GBP/CHF is trading close to recent 60-day highs around 1.0624, supported by safe-haven demand amid market uncertainty. Over the next few sessions, the pair may face pressure as risk sentiment remains cautious, reducing the likelihood of further near-term gains.

- Businesses: paying Swiss Franc invoices could see less advantageous conversion conditions if the pair weakens further.
🧭 Key drivers

- Risk/commodities: Safe-haven demand is supported by global risk-off sentiment, strengthening CHF.
- Global factors: Risk sentiment remains dominant, with market uncertainty supporting safe-haven currencies.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: Improved risk appetite or a reduction in safe-haven flows could support GBP strength.
- Downside risk: Escalation of geopolitical tensions or negative economic data might further pressure GBP/CHF lower.
