The economics of the pair

CHF/JPY: the SNB versus the Bank of Japan

The rate between the Swiss franc (CHF) and the Japanese yen (JPY) brings together two currencies reputed to be "safe havens". Its dynamics are dictated by the relationship between two central banks : the Swiss National Bank (SNB) and the Bank of Japan (BoJ).

The CHF and the JPY have long shared one thing in common : some of the lowest interest rates in the world. The yen has therefore served as a funding currency for carry trade operations, with investors borrowing in JPY to invest in better-remunerated currencies. The rate gap between Switzerland and Japan thus remains a central driver of the pair.

The picture is changing : the Bank of Japan has begun a gradual normalisation of its policy after years of ultra-accommodative rates, while the SNB adjusts its policy rate and can resort to interventions on the currency market to contain excessive appreciation of the franc. In periods of strong risk aversion, both safe-haven currencies can appreciate at the same time, which often makes CHF/JPY less volatile than other pairs.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about CHF/JPY exchange

There is no universal ideal moment. The CHF/JPY rate depends on market movements and on the monetary policy gap between the Swiss National Bank (SNB) and the Bank of Japan (BoJ). Both the Swiss franc and the yen are safe-haven currencies, which makes the pair often less volatile than others. Monitor the real rate continuously and trigger your exchange at the moment that suits you.

The pair mainly reacts to the interest-rate gap between Switzerland and Japan, two economies with historically low rates. The yen long served as a funding currency for carry trade operations, while the gradual normalisation of the Bank of Japan's policy and the SNB's decisions influence the trend. In periods of strong risk aversion, both safe-haven currencies can appreciate at the same time.
