    CHF/USD 1.2359

    The Swiss franc remains strong against major currencies, trading at around 1.236 versus the US dollar. This level is slightly below its 3-month average of 1.2512, reflecting continued demand for the safe-haven currency amid ongoing global uncertainty. The Swiss National Bank is maintaining a zero interest rate but has signaled readiness to intervene if the franc appreciates too rapidly, primarily to support Swiss exporters facing higher costs.

    Against the euro, the franc is close to a 90-day low, trading near 1.072, reinforcing its recent weakness compared to broader safe-haven gains. Meanwhile, the franc has also weakened slightly against the Japanese yen and Australian dollar, trading around 194.9 and 1.754 respectively, both below their recent averages.

    Overall, while the franc remains elevated, recent stable trading ranges suggest limited volatility in the near term. Traders should monitor potential Swiss National Bank interventions and geopolitical developments, which could influence the franc's direction in the coming weeks.
