The Swiss Franc strengthened to below 0.85 per USD, approaching year-to-date lows, benefiting from a general dollar weakness as the latest U.S. jobs report prompted speculation that the Federal Reserve might consider a significant rate cut this month. The U.S. economy added fewer jobs than anticipated in August, with job growth figures for both June and July revised sharply downward. Meanwhile, in Switzerland, the inflation rate dropped to 1.1% in August, marking a five-month low, down from 1.3% in the previous two months and below market expectations of 1.2%. In June, the Swiss National Bank implemented a second consecutive 25 basis point interest rate cut.
