USD\/CHF<\/a> – the US dollar against Swiss franc – is one of the majors in Forex<\/a>. In this overview, we will discuss some factors influencing the quotations of USD\/CHF as well as learn some ways of trading the pair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Some history<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The history of the Swiss franc starts in the 1700s. At those times, in Switzerland, there were numerous coins in circulation, including foreign ones. Aiming at creating a unified currency, the Swiss government introduced the franc all over the country. The state monetary and credit policy is carried out by the National bank of Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout history, the Swiss franc has been some sort of a safe-haven currency. Historically, it had almost zero inflation<\/a>, moreover, Switzerland legally secured gold<\/a> reserves behind the national currency. This measure, however, was canceled in 2000 through certain changes in Swiss constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to a flexible exchange rate and sustained development of the economy, the Swiss franc remains one of the most stable currencies in the world and enjoys active demand as a protective asset. The trust of international investors is the reason for the growth of the franc against other national currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
