The Swiss franc has updated its two-year maximum against the Euro

The Swiss franc rose to its highest level in the last two years against the euro. The position of US President Donald Trump with respect to China prompted investors to switch to safe currencies, while the Swiss Central Bank may not yield to pressure and will not start selling francs for the euro. Trading tensions caught all investors' attention after Trump raised Chinese import tariffs, threatened to raise Mexican tariffs and canceled preferential trade regime for India. These actions force investors to dump risky assets and switch to low-yielding currencies, such as the yen and the franc, which causes them to rise in value.

In relation to the euro, the franc rose by more than half a percent - to 1.1120 francs per euro, which is the highest level since July 2017. Taking into account the May jump, when the franc rose by more than 2% against the euro, the franc shows excellent results. The Swiss national bank, which uses negative interest rates and currency intervention, traditionally intervened when the franc rose to about 1.10 francs per euro. However, low inflation and trade tensions indicate that the franc will go much higher than current levels. The franc was not the only low-yielding currency that could rise in price even more, the Japanese yen also rose significantly and, apparently, the exchange rate would rise.
