The Swiss franc traded largely unchanged against the euro on Wednesday after easing off record highs at the start of the Easter weekend, but some analysts are eyeing renewed franc strength in coming weeks. The franc's recent sharp rise against the euro faltered last week after the Swiss National Bank was seen selling francs as part of its bid to prevent an excessive appreciation of the Swissie and fight deflation risks.
But some analysts said the franc was likely to strengthen again thanks to strong fundamentals in Switzerland and as worries about Greece's financial health weigh on the euro. The franc was trading largely unchanged compared with the New York close, changing hands at 1.4322 per euro, down from the all-time high of around 1.4150 hit last week.
"While the consolidation of euro/Swiss franc might continue over the next few days, we expect the cross trending lower over a one-month horizon to our target of 1.42," analysts at Credit Suisse said in a note.
