USD/CHF here is the price of one US dollar in Swiss francs, so a rise means the US dollar strengthened against the Swiss franc. The series is Yahoo Finance’s daily one for USDCHF=X; currencies trade over the counter, with no central exchange, so this is one data provider’s quote, not an official reference rate such as a central bank’s daily fixing.
