THE SWISS ECONOMY SURPRISES WITH ITS STRENGTH 2/3

Posted by BearBull Group In Macro Research Insights 0 comment

Swiss exports surged +10.7% in July 2026, the sharpest monthly jump in a decade, driven by chemical and pharmaceutical demand. With imports dropping -2.8%, net trade provided a strong boost to overall GDP. This surge highlights the structural resilience of Switzerland's pharmaceutical sector against global headwinds. A late-2025 trade agreement also offers key competitive protection in the U.S. market. However, traditional manufacturing sectors like watchmaking and machinery still face broader full-year revenue declines.

Key Points

Largest GDP growth since the pandemic
GDP growth returning to normal in H2
Record increase in Swiss exports in July
Strong signals from leading indicators
Inflation driven by energy prices and the weaker franc
The SNB still has no cause for concern
The franc is expected to continue weakening
No attractive opportunities in bonds
Real estate fund premiums stabilize at high levels
Swiss stocks benefit from the weaker franc
