HKD/CHF: what to know
The HKD/CHF rate shows how much CHF you get for 1 HKD. Right now, 1 HKD buys 0.1040 CHF at the mid-market rate. In the other direction, 1 CHF is worth 9.6120 HKD.
In the short term HKD is driven mainly by its peg to the US dollar, while CHF responds to safe-haven demand and SNB policy.
The Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) is issued by Hong Kong Monetary Authority. Most banknotes are issued by three commercial banks, not a central bank. The Swiss Franc (CHF) is issued by Swiss National Bank (SNB). In uncertain times investors park money in the franc to preserve value.
Over the past 12 months the HKD/CHF rate has ranged between 0.0981 and 0.1045 — a change of +1.46% 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.
