Swiss Franc Price Forecast: Parity on the Cards for USD/CHF Ahead of SNB  Rates Decision

CHF Soars on SNB Hike

A surprise hike by the SNB today as the bank responds to rising inflation. This marks the first hike in 15 years from the central bank and not only that, the SNB opted for a 50bps rate hike, with the policy rate rising to -0.25% from -0.75%, going against expectations for the bank to leave monetary policy unchanged. Additionally, the SNB states that further increases in the policy rate cannot be ruled out to stabilise inflation.

In response to the surprise hike, the Swiss Franc is soaring across the board. Meanwhile global bond yields have also edged higher as even the typically dovish central banks switch to an aggressively hawkish stance. That said, with EUR/CHF back below 1.02, this opens the door towards parity.

    • A few days ago, I decided to take a deeper dive into staking options for my BTC. I came across the BGBTC pre-launch event, and after reviewing all the benefits, I knew I had to get involved. With the potential to earn passive income and gain BGPoints, it seemed like the perfect way to make my BTC work harder for me. The process was simple, and it immediately caught my attention that I could stake BTC and earn 2% APR, plus additional BGPoints. What’s even better is that BGBTC is offering multiple opportunities for growth. Not only can you earn from staking, but these BGPoints can be used for future token airdrops from different projects. I made sure to join the event on Bitget, where the process was straightforward. I staked my BTC, and now I’m already tracking my BGBTC holdings. If you have BTC sitting around, I’d recommend checking this out. The exchanger has made it incredibly easy, and the additional benefits like flexible trading options and enhanced security are just the cherry on top.
    • Congrats on the airdrop! The game’s community focus is definitely unique, and it’s exciting to see HoldCoin grow so much. Staking on PoolX sounds like a great way to make the most of those tokens—I’m curious too if others are planning to stake for those rewards.
