The Swiss Franc (CHF) remains strong, ING's FX analyst Chris Turner notes.

EUR/CHF may face intervention near 0.9200

"The Swiss National Bank continues to have its hands tied - seemingly reluctant to take the policy rate negative again and also to undertake large-scale FX intervention in the middle of trade discussions with the US."

"More trade volatility could send USD/CHF and EUR/CHF lower next week. With the strong Swiss franc adding to Switzerland's disinflation problem, it does look like the SNB will have to try and intervene in the 0.9200/9250 area in EUR/CHF after all."

Gold Price Forecast: Does Gold Falling Below $4,000 Mean the Bull Market Is Over? Will It Still Rise in the Second Half of 2026?

TradingKey - Heading into the second half of 2026, the gold market has transitioned from a strong performer early in the year to an asset undergoing a high-level correction. Recently, gold prices fell below the $4,000 threshold for the first time since November 2025, down approximately 29% from the all-time high of $5,597.91 reached in January.

The answer is that while short-term pressure persists, there are still opportunities for a medium-term recovery, and the long-term bullish thesis remains intact.
