I think the swiss franc is on its own way to a nice "natural" devaluation, just look at the swiss franc index chart (images attached).

There problem with the eur is that swiss franc and eur looks like to be the same currency, you see the fluctuations between them (eurchf movements) are almost 0, that's why at least against the eur, they may need to intervene.
What kind of picture is that http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon5.gif

I think SNB is selling EURCHF all the time a little bit to bring it down very calm near the peg. So they can be sure, that there are no more (new) short traders, because its not profitable any more (only a few pips to the peg) but risky for them (SNB might intervene). Instead there are coming more and more buyers in the market (the cheaper they get EURCHF). Result is this kind of balance, we are seeing these days (always going a little bit lower). Then, the day will come, when SNB don't sell EUROs anymore. That's the time EURCHF might fly...

(only my opinion)

cant agree more
my only problem is that jordan maybe targeting 150bln reserve level so should wait another 1-2 years, if the swap conditions are stable, Im okay.

BTW someone was asking put option hedge, for 6 months strike near floor with ko @1,19 would cost around 100 pips. as the option doesnt price the floor declaration I think its too expensive. normal ko option would cost 60% at ko level 1,19 for 6 months pfff.

I feel the same and everybody too in the market.

I remember the EUR/CHF bull and bear expectations on http://www.forexpros.de/currencies/e...-forward-rates

It was 99% bullish to 1 % bearish two months ago.
Now it's 72 % bullish to 28 % bearish at the moment.

We can only wait and stay on our longs.
The peg will not break!!!

Maybe one day we see something surprising in the EURO zone like kicking out Greece --> and then EUR/CHF will explode.

DJ Strong Franc Puts Europeans Off Visiting Switzerland In March
09-May-2012
ZURICH (Dow Jones)--Switzerland posted the biggest monthly drop in foreign visitor numbers for almost three years as the strength of the Swiss franc and sluggish European Union economies kept tourists away, data from the Federal Statistics Office showed Wednesday.

But the Alpine country remains an attractive destination for Asian tourists, with the number of Chinese visitors increasing by almost a third from a year-earlier.

The total number of foreign guests staying overnight in Swiss hotels declined at an annual rate of 12% in March, the sharpest drop since May 2009, with 17% fewer visitors from Europe. Of this total, the number of Germans--the most important single customer group for Swiss hoteliers--slid 24%, the statistics office said.

Switzerland is traditionally a popular holiday destination for Europeans, particularly for winter skiing and summer hiking, but the Swiss franc's surge to near parity with the euro in August last year has made it more pricey, particularly for average-income families in the neighboring euro-region countries.

By contrast to Europe, robust economic growth in many emerging-market countries has spurred demand for Swiss package holidays, with the number of tourists from Asia climbing 13% in March from year-earlier levels.

The number of visitors from China, excluding Hong Kong, showed the largest increase with a gain of 30% in March, the data showed.

Switzerland's tourism industry has received government financial backing as it tries to offset its image as an increasingly pricey holiday destination, and the coming season is likely to be tough for the hotel and restaurant industry, the BAKBasel economic institute said in December.

Looks like bullshit or maybe they forgot to write the "-" before the numbers, for now that one is the only website with such a data, my initial approach is to classify it as probable bullshit. I'll search for other sources regarding April yty CPI, however I remember to ha read on a Reuters article about the number to be below -1%, we must be careful Internet is full of shit nowadays.
