“Moscow Exchange” from June 14 suspends trading in the Swiss franc, according to the press release of the exchange.

The restrictions will affect spot and swap instruments on currency pairs “Swiss franc – Russian ruble” (CHFRUB) and “U.S. dollar – Swiss franc” (USDCHF) in the exchange and OTC modes.

Suspension of operations is caused by difficulties with settlements in Swiss franc, faced by trading participants and financial infrastructure due to the adoption of restrictive measures by Switzerland since June 10.

The fulfillment of obligations on previously concluded deals continues in the usual mode. At the same time, there may be an increase in the terms of crediting Swiss francs to clients’ accounts.

Moscow Exchange Group is working with correspondent banks for the possible resumption of trading, which will be announced additionally.
