Thread Starter: Hello everyone, I wanted to delve into the implications of changes in central bank interest rates on the CHF/MXN forex rate. As we know, central banks play a critical role in shaping their nations' economies, with interest rate changes being one of their primary tools. How do you think these adjustments might affect the forex market and specifically the CHF/MXN pair?

For example, we know that when a central bank raises its interest rates, it can attract foreign investors, thus increasing the value of the home currency. Conversely, a decrease in interest rates can have the opposite effect. So, if the Swiss National Bank (SNB) or the Bank of Mexico (Banxico) were to modify their interest rates, how might this impact the CHF/MXN pair?

Here's a link I found that might provide some insights: CHF/MXN Forecast. I would love to hear your thoughts and interpretations of the data from this forecast, and how you think it ties in with the potential interest rate changes from either central bank.

Points for discussion:
1. What are the potential impacts of a rate increase/decrease from the SNB on the CHF/MXN forex rate?
2. What are the potential impacts of a rate increase/decrease from Banxico on the CHF/MXN forex rate?
3. How do you interpret the data from the CHF/MXN Forecast link? How does it align with potential interest rate changes?
4. How do other economic factors interplay with central bank interest rate changes to affect the CHF/MXN forex rate?

Looking forward to your insights!
