In the short term BRL is driven mainly by commodity prices and central-bank policy, while CHF responds to safe-haven demand and SNB policy.
The Brazilian Real (BRL) is issued by Central Bank of Brazil. The real was introduced in 1994 to end hyperinflation; the plural is “reais”. The Swiss Franc (CHF) is issued by Swiss National Bank (SNB). In uncertain times investors park money in the franc to preserve value.
