About USD/CHF
USD/CHF — the "Swissie" — quotes the US dollar against the Swiss franc, with one pip equal to 0.0001. The franc has a long-standing safe-haven reputation built on Switzerland's political neutrality, persistent current-account surpluses and a history of low inflation, so the pair often falls (franc strengthens) when global risk appetite deteriorates.
The Swiss National Bank is unusually active in currency markets for a major central bank and openly uses the exchange rate as a policy tool; its abrupt removal of the EUR/CHF 1.20 floor in January 2015 remains one of the most violent single-day moves in modern FX history and a permanent reminder of policy risk in the franc. USD/CHF also tends to move inversely to EUR/USD because the franc and euro share many regional drivers.
USD/CHF last traded at 0.8290, a move of +0.0013 (+0.16%) versus the previous close of 0.8277, after ranging between 0.8273 and 0.8290 over that session. We could not confirm that this market is open right now, so treat the quote as delayed. FXMARE's technical engine currently reads the setup as Neutral.

USD/CHF — frequently asked questions
What is the live USD/CHF rate?
This page shows the live USD/CHF rate - how many Swiss francs one US dollar buys - with an intraday chart and the day's range. One pip is 0.0001. The pair trades 24 hours a day on weekdays and is most active while the European and US sessions overlap.
What moves USD/CHF?
The interest-rate path of the Swiss National Bank against the Federal Reserve sets the medium-term direction, while safe-haven flows drive shorter-term swings: the franc typically strengthens, pushing USD/CHF lower, when global risk appetite deteriorates. The SNB is unusually willing to act in and comment on the currency market, so its communications carry weight.
Why does USD/CHF often move opposite EUR/USD?
Switzerland's economy is closely tied to the eurozone, so the franc and the euro tend to move together against the dollar. Because the dollar is the base currency in USD/CHF but the quote currency in EUR/USD, that shared behaviour shows up as a negative correlation - broad dollar strength usually lifts USD/CHF and pushes EUR/USD down.
What does the USD/CHF 52-week range show?
The 52-week range is the lowest low and the highest high USD/CHF printed across the past 52 weeks of daily bars, so it shows where the current price sits relative to that year's extremes. Computed from FXMARE's daily price history, the current 52-week range is 0.7629 – 0.8395.
