USD/CHF Background

The USD/CHF is an interesting currency pair for many traders. It tends to be negatively correlated to the EUR/USD and the GBP/USD but price movement has historically been reliant on the monetary policy set by the Federal Reserve and the Swiss National Bank.

Like the USD, the CHF is considered a haven currency, which lends it strength in times of economic uncertainties. The Swiss National Bank is also considered particularly aggressive when it comes to monetary policy, with the strength of the CHF, especially versus the EUR, seen as paramount for Switzerland’s export-led economy. Like the EUR/USD and the GBP/USD, the best time to trade the USD/CHF is in the overlap between the US and European markets. Spreads on the USD/CHF can fluctuate quite widely between brokers, with the industry average at 1.6 pips but much tighter spreads can be found.

The table below shows the Forex brokers with the lowest trading costs for USD/CHF, including the spread and commission. It also details the industry average spread and industry average trading cost for 1 lot of USD/CHF.
