The U.S. dollar influences both currencies much. So, a CHF/SGD trader should allow for the major U.S. economic indicators in order to make a correct projection of a future trend of this financial asset. The indicators which are important to keep track of: the Federal Reserve discount rate, GDP, unemployment rate, new jobs, etc. It is also worth noting that the currencies comprising the pair can respond at a different rate on changes in the U.S. economy. Therefore, the CHF/SGD may be considered as a specific indicator reflecting these currencies’ changes.

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 economic situation of the country and the national currency is strongly dependent on exports.

Singapore has a highly developed economy included in the group known as the Asian Tigers.  This is due to its economy standing on a level with such major nations as the U.S., Germany, France, Great Britain, etc.
