Jordan is quoted back in August, before the peg introcuction, saying that it is just a temporary measure. I don't think he'd even dream of saying the word 'temporary' now though! The language has to be as tough as possible of course, but it does make me think.
Central bankers change their words and policies all the time, you watch how Jordan will change again in the next few months.

"Swiss 5yr gov't yield is back above zero. The 2-4 end of the yield curve is still negative"

Tension off a bit on the floor, but expect to come back after EU summit

1.40 unlikely in the next 12 months. "When?"-->You have to ask Merkel and Monti, politics are driving the situation, therefore hard to forcast the timming, Merkel and the other big three are in bloody dog fight now, but the trend lead to a "lose-lose" (break up) situation in the end is already set by the German voters. And by this fall when Germany's economy gets dragged down further, its voter will be even more unwelling to help the others. This is why I think pressure on the floor will be even greater in the second half of this year which will make Jordan to rethink again.

"Peg-break...we are miles away from"--->I think it is hard to say as politics decide everything now, not economic datas and trends where we can predict and forsee.

In my own opinion, I agree to what George Soros' opinion--->, Join liability to keep yields low and governance the implementation of fiscal discipline for those needing help (exclude Greece). Overall, this is the cheapest solution for Germany, it looks like Germany has to give in the begining, but because this way can provide low yield for the troubled countries, this will enable...
And the Germans know this way will cost them less, but they want to do it in a 10 years time frame, and this is a joke. The EURO would have already disappeared by then. All the German politicians are tide up by its voters. Mass people are normally dumb.


Monti, take the Italian people and leave the EURO, bear short term pains, because you will grow strong again after a few years!!!...be careful of that playboy Berlusconi.

They try with big volume to break above 1,2010 but failed, too much selling pressure above.

I don't think so. Just somebody selling 1,2010 for the last days/weeks, is resistance.

This is not a cap, but an unilateral peg. SNB is selling francs at 1,2007-10 and buying above 1,2011. It will continue in this way because still is dangerous for exports and for the inflation. But no doubt SNB will give up the peg in some moment because SNB's sole responsibility is price stability. The question is when SNB will give up, for negative SWAPS. But of course it will surprise everybody. 3 months ago the 0 risk trade was being long. Now it's being short

The more I consider SNB plans the more I FIGURE OUT its counter-industry act.
1- implementation of full Bessel 3, is asked firmly from July 1st in Swiss banking system which will decrease the GDP for at least 0.5 percent.
2- EU problems are getting worse which will enforce a weight on exporting systems in Swiss.
3- unemployment rate has increased according to last year data before introducing the peg 1.2 for 0.2 percent.
4- deflation is at a high risk and more than the year 2011.
And after all this, the SNB seems quite happy with the floor, while moving the peg last year for 1000 pips added about 70b to foreign currency reserves while the data out of the SNB is printing this much every week and it doesn't seem to be for keeping the floor which could be justified in buying North EU bonds and commodities.
As I said before the SNB has forgot its main role as stemming the economy growth and tries to be appreciated by politics, this can be justified in weak Jordan personality specially when he comes after a strong, risk taking, and creative one.
My message to the SNB is " wait and see the collapse."
and to people of Swiss, " I feel deeply saddened for you".

  1. Franc gains weren’t manageable for Swiss economy
  2. Franc appreciation has been ‘significant’
  3. Franc cap is necessity for Swiss economy

As you were. Sounds like the Swiss authorities are content to support the EUR/CHF 1.2000 peg for the foreseeable future. The cross trades at a steady 1.2010.
