The CAD/CHF pair is showing a solid upward trend on December 3. Brent crude oil, one of the factors that determine the strength of the CAD, rose to $72.80/barrel, supported by expectations that OPEC+ will continue to tighten supply to stabilize the oil market. Rising oil prices not only strengthen Canada's foreign exchange earnings from oil exports but also support the domestic economy thanks to increased production.

Meanwhile, the CHF struggled as PMI data from the Eurozone showed stability but was not enough to boost the CHF. Optimism about the European Central Bank's (ECB) stimulus measures also reduced demand for safe-haven assets. Markets are focused on expectations that the Swiss National Bank (SNB) policy meeting will not bring any major changes, reinforcing the bearish view on the CHF.

Market sentiment

Global investor sentiment improved significantly in the first trading session of the week, with the VIX index (a measure of market volatility) falling to 13, its lowest level since early November. Investors are moving away from defensive assets such as the CHF and into commodity-linked currencies such as the CAD. CAD trading volumes have also increased significantly, especially on European exchanges, as investors poured money into oil markets.

Moreover, Canadian employment data last week beat expectations, with 24,000 new jobs added compared to the forecast of 15,000, further bolstering confidence in the country's economic recovery. In contrast, Switzerland reported a 0.3% increase in Q3 GDP, below expectations of 0.5%, weakening the appeal of CHF.
