Bank of America (BAC.US) has revised its forecasts for the Swiss franc, now predicting a faster pace of depreciation against major currencies due to weaker-than-expected inflation data for January and the increased likelihood of an earlier interest rate cut by the Swiss National Bank.
- The revised forecast anticipates the EUR/CHF pair reaching parity faster, now expected in the second quarter of 2025, instead of the fourth quarter. Additionally, the Bank expects the USD/CHF exchange rate to reach 0.85 by the second quarter.
- It is important to emphasize that Bank of America's position in this post is solely for presentation/information purposes and should not be viewed as recommendations or target prices.
