The Swiss franc is experiencing a rapid appreciation amidst growing uncertainties surrounding U.S. political policies. This strengthening, driven by its status as a safe-haven currency, has raised concerns within the Swiss industrial sector, which fears the rising currency could further complicate an already challenging trade environment characterized by tariff threats. With the franc surging approximately 9% against the dollar this month, it is on track for its largest monthly increase since the 2008 financial crisis.
