Switzerland could have big influence on dollar
Sept 27 (Reuters) -Should Switzerland continue to reduce its mountain of foreign cash it could drive a dollar drop that is big enough to influence moves below important levels for some of the major traded currency pairs.
USD/CHF has been falling during the period that Swiss FX reserves have been declining. Over 300 billion Swiss francs ($354.61 billion) of foreign currencies have been sold in this period and 39 percent of reserves are currently held in dollars.
Where the high U.S. interest rate blunted the impact of dollar sales in 2023, the prospect of an easing cycle and big changes in positioning have contributed to a fast paced fall from 0.92 to 0.85 this year, even though the size of the recent reduction of reserves is relatively small at 27 billion Swiss francs ($31.91 billion).
Should the SNB seek to reduce reserves further, selling dollars alongside a marked predisposed to do the same, then EUR/USD and USD/JPY could be propelled beyond 1.13 and 140 spurring volatility which will encourage traders to gamble more heavily on dollar dropping.
Although sums of other currencies held in Swiss reserves are much smaller, when they are sold it puts some pressure on yen (7% reserves), GBP (6%) and CAD (3%).
