About Australian Dollar / Swiss Franc
AUD/CHF is the exchange rate between the Australian dollar and the Swiss franc. The price shows how many Swiss francs one Australian dollar buys: when AUDCHF rises, the Australian dollar is strengthening against the Swiss franc; when it falls, it is weakening.
AUD/CHF is a cross pair: neither side is the US dollar, so its price reflects the balance between Australia and Switzerland directly. The Australian dollar is closely linked to commodity exports such as iron ore and to demand from China, Australia's largest trading partner. The Swiss franc is backed by Switzerland's stable economy and is widely treated as a safe-haven currency.
On Xellion's MT5 platform AUDCHF is traded as a CFD, so you can go long or short without exchanging either currency. One standard lot is 100,000 Australian dollars, and one pip is 0.0001.
