USD/CHF jumps to test 1-year highs
FXStreet (San Francisco) - Following news that the SNB may be opened to negative rates, the USD/CHF jumped around 60 pips from 0.9325 to test 1-year highs at 0.9385 where the pair found some selling interest.
WSJ reported that the Swiss National Bank may be considering to use negative rates in the short term. “We have always said this is a possibility,” Mr. Moser said in brief remarks to The Wall Street Journal after a panel discussion at an academic conference here. “We’re never shy about it…we always said we would use it if needed,” he said. Nothing new but as Jamie Coleman said in a recent report: "They have no other alternative". Then CHF was sold.
