Why does Davos matter for the S&P 500 today?

Davos concentrates policy signals that affect trade, growth, and regulation. This year’s focus on EU-US tariffs tied to the Greenland dispute can change earnings expectations and risk premia. Swiss investors should monitor official statements and market reactions in real time, as the index is near key resistance and sensitive to headlines.

What are the key levels for the S&P 500 today?

Resistance sits near 6,967 and the 6,986 year high, with 7,000 as a psychological mark. Supports are around 6,866 (basis line), 6,829 (50-day average), and 6,752 (lower band). A daily close above 6,986 strengthens the bull case; below 6,829 weakens momentum.

How could EU-US tariffs affect Swiss portfolios?

Tariffs can dampen global demand, hit multinational earnings, and lift CHF through safe-haven flows. That combination pressures equities and reduces foreign-currency returns. Swiss portfolios with US and EU cyclicals should review position sizes, consider partial USD hedges, and balance with defensives until policy visibility improves.

Is now a good time to hedge USD exposure?

If your spending is in CHF, partial hedging can reduce currency noise, especially when tariff risks may push CHF higher. A layered approach works: hedge a portion now and reassess after key Davos statements. Match hedge size to your time horizon and risk tolerance, not short-term headlines alone.
