TREE NEWS reports: The dollar rose 0.48% against the Swiss franc to 0.8167 in New York trading on Friday, September 11, after US CPI inflation data was released at 20:30 Beijing time, leaving the franc down 0.84% for the week. The euro slipped 0.14% to 1.1595 and briefly touched 1.1569 within 60 seconds of the CPI print, ending the week down 0.16% after the European Central Bank raised rates on Thursday.
Swiss Franc Falls 0.48% vs Dollar on US CPI Day, Down 0.84% for Week
The franc's outsized weekly decline against a dollar that moved only modestly on the CPI print suggests the Swiss currency, not the greenback, did the heavy lifting — a reminder that the franc's safe-haven bid can unwind quickly when rate differentials shift. The euro's muted reaction, despite an ECB hike the prior day, points to markets treating the CPI data as the dominant input. Whether the franc's underperformance persists into next week, or reverses once the inflation impulse fades, is the open question.
