About EUR/CHF
EUR/CHF is one of the most stable pairs in forex, with the Swiss franc and the euro sharing deep economic integration - roughly half of Switzerland's exports go to the Eurozone. For years the Swiss National Bank maintained a 1.20 floor on this pair (removed in 2015), and while that explicit peg is gone, the SNB actively monitors and intervenes when the franc strengthens too much. The pair's daily ranges are typically 20-50 pips, making it unsuitable for scalpers but attractive for carry and position traders seeking low noise. ECB policy is the primary driver: when the ECB tightens, EUR/CHF tends to rise, and when it eases or Eurozone political risk spikes, the pair falls toward parity. The SNB's quarterly policy assessments are the most important single events. Traders should be aware that SNB intervention - though rare - can cause violent intraday swings of 100+ pips in seconds.
