The Swiss economy remains strong for several centuries. For this reason, its national currency enjoys a great confidence all over the world as one of the most reliable and stable currencies. The Swiss franc is also a safe haven for capital investment during the crisis. Therefore, in times of crisis, when capital is urgently forwarded to Switzerland, the Swiss franc rises sharply against other currencies.

However, information about the state of the Swiss economy is rarely publicized. Therefore, any information concerning the economic situation in Switzerland attracts a lot of attention of traders around the world.

The country has long-standing tradition of bank secrecy. Swiss bankers have a code of secrecy regarding banking and their account holders. This feature enables clients to evade taxes imposed by their countries. The secret privacy banking law is a matter of concern for many European governments. The European Union repeatedly exerted pressure on Switzerland to make its banking system more transparent. However, it still has not succeeded.

The thing that can pull down the value of the Swiss franc is lower exports of Switzerland to Western Europe.

When trading the Swiss franc, you should consider a low interest rate of the SNB, rare intervention and similarity of the USD/CHF price chart with the EUR/USD and GBP/USD charts.
