    Switzerland’s exports in November totaled 23,478 million, a drop from 25,351 million in October. This decline shows a decrease in the country’s export activities during this period. The fall in exports may be linked to changes in global trade and internal economic factors. A thorough analysis of these shifts is important for grasping wider economic trends and making informed plans.

    Significant Decrease in Swiss Exports

    Swiss exports took a significant hit in November, declining by over 7% from the month before. This trend signals a slowdown in economic activity as the year comes to a close. Such a sharp drop indicates less demand for Swiss products overseas, which is crucial for the country’s economy. This trend also casts a negative outlook on the Swiss franc (CHF) for the weeks ahead. The Swiss National Bank is likely to pay attention, especially since the November 2025 inflation rate fell to 1.2%, well below their target. A more cautious approach from the SNB, possibly hinting at a rate cut in early 2026, now appears more likely. For traders dealing in derivatives, this situation suggests preparing for a weaker franc. They might consider buying call options on currency pairs like EUR/CHF and USD/CHF to benefit from potential gains while managing their risk. The EUR/CHF pair, in particular, is sensitive to changes in the economic performance of both the Eurozone and Switzerland.

    Weak Manufacturing PMI Data

    This decline in exports is not isolated; we are also witnessing weak manufacturing PMI data from key trading partners, such as Germany, which reported a reading of 48.5 for November. This situation echoes the 2019 slowdown, where a strong franc and declining global trade heavily impacted Swiss industry. Monitoring the upcoming Swiss KOF Economic Barometer will be crucial in confirming this trend. Create your live VT Markets account and start trading now.
