Dollar weighed by Fed prospects; Swiss franc, gold shine on geopolitics
The dollar on Tuesday remained shackled by the prospects of monetary easing by the Federal Reserve while the safe-haven Swiss franc and gold were supported by simmering tensions between Washington and Tehran. Selling in the dollar accelerated after the U.S. Federal Reserve signalled it would cut interest rates before year-end on mounting worries about the fallout from tariff wars President Donald Trump is waging against China and many other trading partners. Investors looked to whether Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping would at least call a truce in their trade war when they are expected to meet at the G20 summit in Osaka later this week.

SNB says U.S.-China trade war triggering franc's rise
The Swiss National Bank (SNB) could further relax its ultra-loose monetary policy, it said on Thursday, blaming rising trade tensions between the United States and China for a spike in the safe-haven Swiss franc. The central bank kept on hold its policy of negative interest rates and readiness to sell francs to tackle the situation on what Chairman Thomas Jordan called fragile foreign exchange markets. "When the trade dispute between the U.S. and China escalated again in May, the Swiss franc and the Japanese yen appreciated," Jordan told a news conference.

FOREX-Mounting trade concerns pull dollar lower against yen, franc
The U.S. dollar fell on Monday morning, hitting a 4-1/2 month low against the Japanese yen and a two-month low against the Swiss franc as President Donald Trump hardened his trade stance toward countries beyond China. Trade tensions have taken center stage in recent weeks as Trump has increased tariffs on Chinese imports, threatened to raise tariffs on Mexican imports and removed preferential trade treatment for India. The mounting tension has prompted investors to move out of riskier assets like U.S. stocks and into safe-havens like the yen and franc.

FOREX-Swiss franc races to 2-year highs vs euro as trade concerns rise
The Swiss franc rallied to its highest levels in nearly two years against the euro on Monday as U.S. President Donald Trump hardened his trade stance to countries beyond China, prompting investors to move into perceived safe-haven currencies. Trade tensions have grabbed center stage for investors in recent weeks after Trump increased tariffs on Chinese imports, threatened to raise tariffs on Mexican imports and removed preferential trade treatment for India. Rising strains on trade have prompted investors to dump risky assets such as equities and flock to low-yielding currencies such as the yen and the franc with the latter flirting close to levels where the Swiss National Bank has traditionally intervened to keep the currency weak.

FOREX-Yen, Swiss franc shine as trade tensions spark flight to safety
The yen brushed a more than four-month high against the dollar on Monday and the Swiss franc rose as U.S. President Donald Trump's hard stance on trade broadened to countries beyond China, stoking investor demand for safe-haven assets. In a recent development, U.S. and Mexican officials were preparing for trade talks after Trump vowed to impose punitive tariffs on all Mexican goods in an intensifying dispute over migration. No one was really expecting it to the same extent they were with China," said Chris Weston, Melbourne-based head of research at foreign exchange brokerage Pepperstone.
