About EUR/CHF
EUR/CHF expresses how many Swiss francs one euro buys. The pair has one of the most consequential modern central-bank histories: the Swiss National Bank defended a 1.20 floor against the euro from September 2011 to 15 January 2015, when it abandoned the cap and EUR/CHF fell roughly 30% in minutes — the largest single-day move in modern major-FX history. Outside intervention regimes the pair is generally low-volatility because Switzerland and the Eurozone are tightly linked economically. Drivers include ECB and SNB policy, Eurozone inflation, and global safe-haven demand. NewFXT shows EUR/CHF with live quotes, SNB and ECB rate context and AI commentary.
