#CurrencyPairPrediction Surprise rate hikes by the Federal Reserve generally strengthen the USD against the CHF (Swiss Franc). This is because higher U.S. interest rates attract more investors seeking better returns, boosting demand for the dollar. In contrast, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) typically maintains low or negative rates to support its export-driven economy, making the CHF less attractive. As a result, a surprise Fed hike often leads to a rise in USD/CHF, meaning the dollar gains value relative to the franc.
