- The USD/CHF exchange rate is climbing as the US Dollar gains traction amid a more optimistic market mood.
- Michael Hart, President of AmCham China, expressed optimism regarding the ongoing tariff discussions between the US and China.
- Experts suggest that the Swiss National Bank might find currency intervention a more potent tool than further interest rate reductions.
The USD/CHF pair has rebounded from its prior decline, hovering near the 0.8320 mark in Friday’s Asian trading hours. The US Dollar (USD) is gaining strength as market participants become more optimistic, spurred by a Bloomberg article indicating that China might temporarily lift its 125% tariffs on certain US goods, such as medical devices, ethane, and aircraft rentals.
Individuals with knowledge of the situation revealed that Chinese authorities are giving particular attention to potentially waiving tariffs on leased aircraft. Nevertheless, neither China’s Ministry of Finance nor the General Administration of Customs has released any formal statements on the matter.
Michael Hart, the head of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, commented that the ongoing review of tariffs by the US and China is a positive development. Hart pointed out that while discussions regarding exclusion lists for particular sectors are reportedly underway, no formal declarations or policies have been officially published. Both China’s Ministry of Commerce and the US Department of Commerce are currently soliciting feedback on the subject.
