The technical picture
of the CHF / JPY rate
Over twelve months, the CHF / JPY rate ends up almost where it started. It currently sits in the lower part of that range.
The CHF / JPY rate has turned around: down over three months, it has been climbing back for the past thirty days. The month runs against the quarter, which usually marks a turning point rather than a passing move.
Swiss franc treads water against the yen
The Swiss franc had a difficult week on the foreign exchange markets, weighed down by the Swiss National Bank keeping its policy rate at 0%. Against currencies benefiting from higher yields, the Swiss currency broadly declined on Thursday. The Japanese yen, however, was a notable exception to this overall weakening trend, with the exchange rate remaining stable at 0.5235 CHF per 100 JPY.
Interest rate differentials weigh on safe-haven currencies
Amid tensions in the Middle East, traditional safe-haven status was not enough to support the Swiss currency, as the market focused on monetary policy divergences. While other central banks are tightening credit conditions, the SNB is keeping its rate at zero, which weighs on the franc. For its part, the Japanese currency was the subject of a flurry of warnings at the end of the week, which helped curb the rise of the greenback without altering the balance against the Swiss currency.

The two safe havens
of the currency market
Two currencies that rise when everything falls
The Swiss franc and the Japanese yen are a rare case: two currencies that appreciate in crises, for reasons that have nothing to do with each other. The franc because Switzerland is a net creditor to the rest of the world and politically stable. The yen because Japan has held the largest stock of foreign assets on the planet for thirty years, and that capital comes home when risk rises.
The consequence is counter-intuitive: CHF/JPY often moves less than either currency does against the euro or the dollar. When a shock hits the markets, both rise together and their ratio barely varies.
Except when interest rates get involved
That symmetry breaks on one point: interest rates. Japan held rates at zero or below for nearly thirty years, far longer than Switzerland. The yen thus became the funding currency of the carry trade: you borrow in yen at almost no cost to invest elsewhere at a higher rate.
As long as the trade works, it weighs on the yen. When it unwinds abruptly, as in August 2024, it makes the yen jump in a few sessions. The franc, whose rates rose earlier, no longer goes through those jolts with the same violence.

Exchanging CHF / JPY with b-sharpe
8 questionsWhat is the difference between this converter and a real exchange?
The converter displays the global interbank rate without fees. However, to carry out a real exchange of swiss franc to yen, the financial institution you use (bank or platform) will add a margin. At b-sharpe, our applied exchange rate includes very low transaction fees (from 0.12%), which are significantly lower than those of traditional banks.
Why convert swiss franc with b-sharpe rather than my bank?
Banks often apply hidden margins of up to 2% on the exchange rate. With b-sharpe, fees start from 0.12% and are always based on the interbank rate. In addition, you always have visibility on the exact amount you will receive before confirming. This saves you up to 80% on your transaction fees.
Can I lock the rate I see now?
The online converter displays the market rate in real time without fees, for simulation purposes. To lock a rate and initiate a transaction, simply create a free account on b-sharpe.

How long does a transfer from Switzerland to Europe or internationally take?
