Current report
The Swiss franc (CHF/USD) delivered strong gains in 2025, supported by persistent U.S. dollar weakness and steady demand for safe‑haven assets amid elevated global uncertainty. Although concerns over the impact of tariffs created intermittent volatility, the franc continued to serve as the safe‑haven currency of choice. In the first quarter, rising fears of a U.S. recession and stagflation triggered a sharp sell‑off in risk assets, prompting investors to rotate into more stable currencies such as the franc. This momentum carried into the second quarter as confidence in U.S. markets continued to erode. While the pace of appreciation moderated in the third quarter amid a partial rebound in the U.S. dollar, the fourth quarter marked another period of strength, rounding out a solid year for the currency.

Previous report
The Swiss Franc (CHF/USD) posted a large gain in 2023, with the pair ending the year at its highest since Jan 2015. Price action was largely driven by dollar moves and Swiss central bank policies. The USD fell sharply in January, helping the pair rally, as speculation for a dovish pivot in Fed rate hike plans grew. However, with the dollar making a turnaround in February due to signs of a strong labor market and resilient inflation in the US, the currency pair depreciated. In March though, the pair returned to positive territory as the US dollar once again weakened amid the turmoil in the US banking sector. While the second quarter was largely the same theme, with the CHF bouncing back and forth on Fed-driven dollar moves, the pair also received support from rising safe haven demand. The third quarter marked a negative period for the Swiss franc as the SNB turned increasingly dovish, especially when compared with the US Fed, which held on to its higher for longer guidance. However, returning dollar weakness in the fourth quarter and efforts by the SNB to boost its currency value and dampen inflation, helped the pair soar.

Previous wording
During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Trust's net comprehensive income (loss) was, in part, impacted by market volatility resulting from expectations around the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) easing and heightened geopolitical concerns for 2024, and the US banking sector turmoil for 2023 which are considered to be unusual or infrequent events. Although the full and direct impact of Fed easing expectations, rising geopolitical tensions, and the US banking sector turmoil on the Trust's net comprehensive income (loss) during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 cannot be known, it is believed that they have each independently impacted the Closing Spot Rate, the interest rate paid by the Depository, and the global economy and markets generally, including the number of Shares created and redeemed by the Trust.
Current wording
During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Trust's net comprehensive income (loss) was, in part, impacted by market volatility resulting from global tariff gyrations, mounting U.S. economic uncertainty for 2025, evolving expectations around the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) monetary policy and heightened geopolitical concerns, some of which are considered to be unusual or infrequent events. Although the full and direct impact of these conditions on the Trust's net comprehensive income (loss) during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, cannot be known, it is believed that they have each independently impacted the Closing Spot Rate, the interest rate paid by the Depository, and the global economy and markets generally, including the number of Shares created and redeemed by the Trust.
Previous wording
The Swiss franc (CHF/USD) posted a loss in 2024, largely pressured by US dollar strength. In Q1 and Q2, the Fed’s higher-for-longer rhetoric kept the greenback supported, serving as the primary headwind. However, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) was also the first major central bank to start cutting its interest rates in March; lower interest rates reduce the appeal of the country’s currency. The pair did gain in Q3, bringing performance back to flat; the Fed and many other global central banks also began their easing cycle, and geopolitical tensions and US economic and equity market turmoil offered safe haven demand. However, Trump-driven USD gains in the fourth quarter, caused the pair to depreciate significantly. Many of Trump’s campaigned policies were expected to raise inflation risk, potentially leading to higher rates in 2025. In addition, tariffs generally weigh on foreign currencies, further boosting the USD.
