The post USD/CHF rises on US dollar rebound, weak Swiss economic data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CHF trades slightly higher on Friday, around 0.8060, up 0.15% at the time of writing.

Still, the data confirms a slowdown in the Swiss economy, reinforcing expectations that the Swiss National Bank (SNB) may keep its policy rate at 0.00% potentially through 2027, according to several analysts.
