US midterm results could affect Swiss trade, the dollar and markets

US voters will choose all 435 members of the House and 35 senators on November 3.

The result could limit or strengthen President Donald Trump’s ability to pursue his policies.

That matters to Switzerland because the US is a major trading partner, and tariffs can raise costs for Swiss exporters.

The dollar’s value could also affect Swiss holidaymakers, companies and investors, though the direction is uncertain.
