Wall Street closes at a record for the first time since end of January
Investing.com - The Swiss franc has recently benefited from increased safe-haven demand, but UBS expects this trend to reverse in the coming months, potentially pushing the GBP/CHF exchange rate higher.
UBS noted in its currency outlook that the budget-related risk premium previously affecting the British pound has been eliminated from pricing, while positive economic data from the UK has provided additional support for sterling.
The financial services firm projects the GBP/CHF spot exchange rate will experience a gradual upward trajectory as safe-haven flows into the Swiss franc diminish.
UBS highlighted the significant yield differential between the currencies, which currently exceeds 3.5%, making the pound a more attractive option for investors seeking returns.
This yield advantage for the British pound over the Swiss franc creates a fundamental basis for the expected appreciation in the currency pair, according to the UBS analysis.
