The USDCHF rate started to rise gradually following the news released today, 4 June 2024. Switzerland’s non-seasonally adjusted unemployment rate remained flat at 2.4%, which can be interpreted both positively and negatively.

The year-over-year and month-over-month consumer price indices decreased, favouring market participants betting on a decline in the Swiss franc.
Overall, investors expect the franc to continue losing ground and the USDCHF rate to continue growing after a correction.
