The economics of the pair

CHF/NZD: the SNB versus the RBNZ

The rate between the Swiss franc (CHF) and the New Zealand dollar (NZD) pits two currencies of very different temperament against each other. Its dynamics depend on the relationship between two central banks : the Swiss National Bank (SNB) and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ).

The CHF is a safe-haven currency : in times of geopolitical uncertainty or tension on the markets, investors buy Swiss francs, which tends to push it up. The SNB also pursues a cautious monetary policy, with a policy rate kept very low. The NZD, by contrast, is a commodity-linked currency : its price tracks risk appetite and New Zealand's agricultural exports (dairy products in particular).

The gap in policy rates between the RBNZ, traditionally higher, and the SNB, close to zero, is a key driver of the pair : it fuels carry-trade strategies, sensitive to the risk climate. A bout of risk aversion strengthening the franc can quickly wipe out the gain linked to this differential. The pair therefore alternates between trending phases and long phases of consolidation.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about CHF/NZD exchange

The CHF/NZD rate depends above all on the monetary policy gap between the SNB (Swiss National Bank) and the RBNZ (Reserve Bank of New Zealand). The Swiss franc is a safe-haven currency sought after in times of uncertainty, whereas the New Zealand dollar is a commodity-linked currency, more sensitive to risk appetite and to the prices of New Zealand's agricultural exports. The gap in policy rates between the two central banks also weighs on the pair.

There is no universal ideal moment. The CHF/NZD rate moves with the decisions of the SNB and the RBNZ, economic data and the risk climate on the markets. Follow the real rate continuously, for example on this page, and trigger your exchange at the moment that suits your need.
