what happened
The Swiss franc may have limited room to extend its recent advance against the euro, as expectations for European Central Bank rate increases are unlikely to be reduced much further, ING’s Chris Turner said in a note cited by Dow Jones Newswires.
The franc’s recent rally followed French debt concerns that were serious enough to curb expectations for additional ECB tightening. However, Turner said it was unclear whether short-dated euro rates needed to decline much further unless energy prices dropped sharply. Continued inflation growth in the eurozone, he added, supports the case for further tightening.
The euro is up 0.2% at 0.9314 francs after touching a 10-week low of 0.9258 on Oct. 2, according to LSEG.
why it matters
ECB rate expectations and eurozone inflation remain key drivers for the euro-franc exchange rate.
