USD/CHF ticks up to near 0.7980 in a sour market mood
Friday, 11 July 2025 12:47 WIB | USD/CHF |SwissFranc

The USD/CHF pair edges higher to near 0.7980 during Asian trading hours on Friday. The Swiss Franc pair trades broadly stable in a risk-averse market mood, followed by fears of an increase in United States (US) 10% tariff blanket.

On Thursday, US President Trump said in a telephonic interview with NBC news that he will impose a "15% or 20%" tariff blanked on nations that have failed to secure a trade deal during the 90-day reciprocal tariff pause period. "We're just going to say all of the remaining countries are going to pay, whether it's 20% or 15%. We'll work that out now," Trump said.

This scenario is unfavorble for assets from a lot of countries as Washington has so far closed deal with the United Kingdom (UK) and Vietnam, a limited pact with China and has expressed confidence towards a US-India interim deal.

Meanwhile, dismal market sentiment has improved demand for safe-haven assets, such as Swiss Franc.

Additionally, US President Trump has also sent letter to Canada, specifying a 35% tariff rate, which will be separate from other sectoral levies. He has also threatened to impose tariffs on imports from the Eurozone. However, the 27 nations-led-bloc has stated that it is aiming to reach a deal with Washington before the August 1 deadline.

At the time of writing, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback's value against six major currencies, trades higher to near 97.90, the highest level seen in two weeks.
