Don't worry, trust the SNB. See the EURUSD plummeting from 1.32 to now 1.25, yet EURCHF is still holding around 1.201X. No significant change at all.

Even if Greece leaves, trust the 1.20 peg. It may be good as SNB may have to intervene in a bigger manner if Greece leaves....

CHF is already depreciating against the USD thanks to the 1.20 peg to EUR. This depreciation (against USD) is indirectly good for the Swiss economy to combat deflation.

Trust the SNB's 1.20 floor to your "utmost determination" & just be patient to your "utmost determination" & carry the +ve swap while waiting for something bigger to happen.

Wow...

The SNB is very active those weeks (you just dont see it, because they change the tactic)
By the way, Greece is not in the EZ any more!!!!

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--The Swiss National Bank's floor for the euro against the Swiss franc was held up by a large bidder that stepped in to buy EUR7 billion of the common currency Wednesday, according to three traders with knowledge of the transactions.
For several weeks, a bidder has held standing orders to buy the euro against the Swiss franc at between CHF1.2010 and CHF1.2005, which it carried out through Rabobank, traders said. The Netherlands-based bank was likely acting on behalf of the Swiss central bank, they said, helping preserve Switzerland's competitiveness by preventing a more dramatic drop in the euro.



"The idea is that it was kind of embarrassing for the SNB that the floor was breached at all, so they would want to be ahead of it," said Marc Chandler, global head of foreign exchange at Brown Brothers Harriman in New York. He added that traders at Brown Brothers also heard of a large buyer of euros Wednesday, but said it wasn't possible to confirm that the bidder was the Swiss central bank.
"They've got huge bids there, so people are assuming that its the Swiss National Bank because there's nobody else of that size," Chandler said.

normally when there is a panic in the market and the USD raises, everything goes down including oil, so CHF depreciating against USD does not mean ease of deflation

Switzerland's trade surplus fell unexpectedly in April due to a fall in exports, the Federal Customs Administration reported Thursday.

The surplus decreased to CHF 1.33 billion in April from CHF 1.58 billion in March. The surplus was well below the consensus forecast of CHF 1.9 billion.

Exports dropped by real 0.9 percent from a month ago, following a 2.4 percent decline in March. At the same time, monthly increase in imports slowed to 2.6 percent from 5.9 percent.

In the first quarter, the trade balance showed a surplus of CHF 5.84 billion compared to a surplus of CHF 6.94 billion in the fourth quarter of 2011.

There's some chatter about deposit taxing in Switzerland causing this bounce, but we haven't seen any confirmed headlines.
