Swiss central bank rejects US currency manipulation claims

The Swiss National Bank (SNB) denies suggestions by the United States that it unfairly manipulates the value of the Swiss franc.


This content was published on June 6, 2025 - 15:02


The US Treasury Department has added Switzerland and Ireland to a list of trading partners likely to manipulate their currencies or put in place non-tariff trade barriers.


In a position paper obtained by AWP, the guarantor of price stability maintains that the key rate is its principal means of action and that its interventions on the currency markets are calibrated to guarantee adequate monetary conditions in the country.



These interventions are aimed at fulfilling the mandate of price stability and not at establishing predefined exchange rates, the SNB continued.

The SNB continues to maintain contact with the US authorities within the framework of a “macroeconomic dialogue”, which provides an opportunity to explain Swiss monetary policy.

Socio….I generally agree although this has moved down in two big straight lines! For a company that was solid with growing divvies and a recent share buyback the shocks of the last 6 months have created a wary approach here. The uncertainties of the business markets have naturally created wariness in capital projects, that may take some time to settle, although Trump has and will continue to cause disruption. I still think this will continue to move towards fair value which I believe to be at least 50p in the near term.

Euro could become the dollar's alternative, Lagarde says

Updated / Monday, 26 May 2025 14:31



The euro could become a viable alternative to the dollar, earning the 20-nation bloc immense benefits, if governments could only strengthen the bloc's financial and security architecture, ECB President Christine Lagarde said today.

Unnerved by erratic US economic policy, global investors have been reducing their exposure to dollar assets in recent months but many have opted for gold instead, not seeing a direct alternative.

In fact, the euro's global role has been stagnant for decades now since the European Union's financial institutions remain unfinished and governments have shown little appetite to embark on more integration.

"The ongoing changes create the opening for a 'global euro moment,'" Lagarde said at a lecture in Berlin. "The euro will not gain influence by default - it will have to earn it."

For this, Europe needs a deeper, more liquid capital market, must bolster its legal foundations and needs to underpin its commitment to open trade with security capabilities, Lagarde argued.

The dollar's role has been on the decline for years and now makes up 58% of international reserves, the lowest in decades, but still well above the euro's 20% share.

Any enhanced role for the euro must coincide with greater military strength that can back up partnerships, Lagarde said.

"This is because investors - and especially official investors - also seek geopolitical assurance in another form: they invest in the assets of regions that are reliable security partners and can honour alliances with hard power," Lagarde said at a Hertie School lecture.

Europe should also make the euro the currency of choice for businesses invoicing international trade, she said. This could be supported by forging new trade agreements, enhanced cross-border payments and with liquidity agreements with the ECB.

Reforming the domestic economy may be more pressing, however, Lagarde said.

The euro area capital market is still fragmented, inefficient and lacks a truly liquid, widely available safe asset investors could flock to, she said.

"Economic logic tells us that public goods need to be jointly financed. And this joint financing could provide the basis for Europe to gradually increase its supply of safe assets," she added.

Joint borrowing has been a taboo for some key euro zone members, particularly Germany, which fears that its own taxpayers could end up having to pay for the fiscal irresponsibility of others.

If Europe succeeded, the benefits would be large, Lagarde said.

The investment inflow would allow domestic players to borrow at lower cost, insulate the bloc from exchange rate movements and protect it against international sanctions.

Swiss National Bank chairman warns of ‘great insecurity’ caused by US tariffs

The president of the Swiss National Bank (SNB), Martin Schlegel, has warned of the huge financial uncertainties caused by recent US tariffs.

This content was published on May 16, 2025 - 15:41


“We think that growth will slow down, but we do not foresee a recession in Switzerland,” Schlegel told the Swiss Media Forum in Lucerne on Friday.

He pointed out that the increase in customs duties could penalise Swiss products because they become more expensive in the US, but also because other countries could benefit from more advantageous conditions than Swiss exporters.



Asked about the possible introduction of negative interest rates in Switzerland, Schlegel said no instrument could be ruled out.

Nobody likes negative interest rates, including the SNB, but it is not out of the question that the institution might have to use them again, he commented. This would complicate the work of pension funds in particular, which would find it more difficult to achieve their targets, he said.


Schlegel once again dismissed US accusations of currency manipulation against Switzerland. The SNB does not intervene to gain an unfair competitive advantage for the Swiss economy, but only to fulfil its mandate of ensuring price stability, he said.

This means intervening to limit the strengthening of the franc, insisted Schlegel, who was appointed to the post just over seven months ago.


SNB officials have always maintained good dialogue with their US technical counterparts on this issue, and the Swiss position has been understood, said Schlegel. But he said that he did not know whether this view was shared by the new US president, Donald Trump.

Swiss Franc "Currently in a Vulnerable Position"

Modified: Wednesday, 07 May 2025 07:40 BST
Written by: Gary Howes
poundsterlinglive.com

Franc strength is now proving a problem for the Swiss National Bank (SNB).

The Swiss Franc is a predictable currency that is offering predictable headaches for its central bank.

SNB President Martin Schlegel said on Tuesday, "the Swiss franc appreciated really a lot... We have always said that we’re ready to intervene in the FX market if that's necessary for price stability."

The currency fell following the comments.

Schlegel's comments confirm the SNB is taking note of the CHF's recent strength, and this could leave it exposed to a bigger correction lower, says one currency strategist we follow.

"The Swiss franc is currently in a vulnerable position. The recent risk-off environment has driven the trade-weighted value of CHF to record highs, which is the opposite of what the SNB wants to see right now," says George Moran, FX strategist at RBC Capital Markets.

The Franc, an undisputed 'safe haven' in global foreign exchange, has been an outperformer during the surge in volatility that followed U.S. President Donald Trump's eye-watering tariff announcements on April 02.

However, a strengthening Franc is deflationary for Switzerland, as it lowers the cost of imports. The SNB, meanwhile, is worried that the country is slipping back into a deflationary environment, and is unhappy with what it sees as unhelpful CHF strength.

Also, a stronger currency makes domestic exports less competitive, giving another reason for the central bank to want a weaker currency.

"We think the conditions are ripe for the SNB to intervene and weaken the franc to counter imported deflation," says Moran.

Switzerland's April CPI inflation registered a softer-than-expected flat y/y reading on Monday, while the core reading softened to 0.6% y/y from 0.9% y/y the previous month.

According to RBC, over the past year, imported prices have been the primary driver of weak Swiss inflation, and unless the franc’s strength fades, the risk of deflation is likely to intensify.

Analysts at Rabobank think the Swiss Franc is set to ease back from current levels as it is becoming a "problem currency" for its central bank.

The prospect of direct currency market intervention by Swiss authorities has risen sharply. The prospect of negative interest rates is also now rising, with money markets now pricing in a return to sub-0% rates.

"There is a very strong chance that the SNB will cut rates again at its June 19 policy meeting. Market implied rates point to a 40 bp reduction in rates in a 3-month view, which would put them squarely back into negative territory," says Jane Foley, Senior FX Strategist at Rabobank.

The SNB has adopted a proactive approach to interest rates, cutting them on five occasions between March 2024 and March 2025.

"Remarks from Schlegel that policymakers have not ruled out negative rates and that they will intervene in the FX market if necessary are consistent with previous warnings. That said they were likely aimed at pushing back on CHF strength," says Foley.

SNB Chairman does not rule out a slowdown in growth for Switzerland

Martin Schlegel, chairman of the Swiss National Bank (SNB), does not rule out a weakening of the Swiss economy in light of the tariff dispute.



This content was published on April 25, 2025 - 15:42



“Growth is likely to be lower than expected just a few weeks ago,” Schlegel said on Friday.

“The current trade policy situation is creating great uncertainty for all countries affected, including Switzerland,” said Schlegel, according to the text of his speech at the SNB general meeting in Bern.

The uncertainty concerns both the economic outlook and the longer-term effects, such as a possible fragmentation of the global economy, he said. “As a small, open economy, Switzerland is feeling the effects of protectionism particularly keenly.”

According to Schlegel, the impact on the Swiss economy and inflation can only be roughly estimated. It is still very uncertain how inflation and the economy will develop in Switzerland.


The SNB is therefore monitoring the situation and further developments closely and will take them into account in its analyses and forecasts, he said. “If necessary, we will adjust our monetary policy to ensure price stability in the future.”

Maintaining price stability is the main task of the Swiss National Bank. The SNB key interest rate is the main instrument for this, and interventions on the foreign exchange market are also possible if necessary, Schlegel emphasised. “Price stability is the central contribution that the SNB can make to Switzerland’s stability. This also applies in the current environment.”

However, observers assume that the SNB will refrain from intervening in the foreign exchange market whenever possible, even though the Swiss franc has recently benefited massively from its status as a safe haven and has gained several centimes against the dollar within a short space of time.



Otherwise, Switzerland runs the risk of being pilloried by the Trump administration as a currency manipulator. And this could complicate Switzerland’s current negotiations with the US government for favourable customs conditions.

The positive bit in the RNS is that there is Insurance cover and there will be some cash recovery and the other positive bit is that apparently there are no additional negatives to report since the RNS of 3 March that damaged the then 50p share price
Posted at 24/4/2025 08:41 by kneecaps2
This morning I have bought 50000 @ 20.48 and 50000 @ 21.8 as I too believe they will recover strongly with improved order book and assets of 3 times the share price.

Swiss franc rises as Trump’s tariffs cause further unrest on stock markets


Trump's tariff rate causes further unrest on stock markets - franc rises Keystone-SDA


The international trade conflict remains the main topic on the stock markets on Friday and is causing unrest. While share prices in Japan fell significantly, following the negative cues from Wall Street, the Chinese markets stabilised.

In contrast, the broker IG is signalling a pre-market gain of just under 0.5% for the Swiss SMI. A gain of 0.7% is even forecast for the German DAX.

The previous day, many markets had reacted with relief to US President Donald Trump’s 90-day tariff pause and rallied strongly. In contrast, the US stock markets went into reverse again on Thursday.

The Dow Jones Industrial closed 2.5% lower and the broad market S&P 500 lost 3.5%. The technology-heavy Nasdaq 100 closed down 4.2% after a volatile trading session. The day before, the US stock markets had risen sharply due to the tariff pause for many countries – with the exception of China.



The Swiss SMI rose by over 8% at its peak on Thursday, but then lost most of its gains again, closing up 3.3%. This was due to new tariffs on China.

This is because Trump is driving the trade conflict with China forward with force. The US tariffs against China amount to a total of 145% – not 125%, as the White House had recently announced. This was recently confirmed by an employee at the US government centre in Washington.
Will the respite continue for other countries?

For other parts of world trade, on the other hand, Trump has announced a respite of probably 90 days. However, US tariff policy is likely to remain unpredictable and continue to shake up the markets and cause enormous uncertainty, said one trader. A lot of crockery has been smashed in recent weeks.

The extent of the uncertainty on the markets was also evident in the foreign exchange markets. The Swiss franc, which is in demand as a “safe haven” in uncertain times, gained significantly in value.

One dollar currently costs CHF0.8187. On Friday night, it was as low as 0.8141 francs. “That’s the lowest level in years, if not a record low,” says one trader.

The euro also fell further against the franc and is currently trading at CHF0.9272. The single European currency had hit a new low of 0.92162 during the night.
