CHF/HKD: what to know
The CHF/HKD rate shows how much HKD you get for 1 CHF. Right now, 1 CHF buys 9.6120 HKD at the mid-market rate. In the other direction, 1 HKD is worth 0.1040 CHF.
In the short term CHF is driven mainly by safe-haven demand and SNB policy, while HKD responds to its peg to the US dollar.
The Swiss Franc (CHF) is issued by Swiss National Bank (SNB). In uncertain times investors park money in the franc to preserve value. The Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) is issued by Hong Kong Monetary Authority. Most banknotes are issued by three commercial banks, not a central bank.
Over the past 12 months the CHF/HKD rate has ranged between 9.5685 and 10.1920 — a change of -1.44% versus a year ago.
Use this mid-market figure as your benchmark: compare it with the rate your bank or broker quotes, and the difference is the margin you would pay.
