No surprise here. The market price EUR/CHF without SNB would be lower than parity. Some weeks ago UBS said 0,93 and since then EUR/USD plunged. So what can +1,2% EUR/USD do? And if you think that 1,20 is so important for tourism, you might be ...

If you look at the monthly inflation here, is this also nonsense ? url look at July/June 2011 also! Once that is out, the inflation jumps to zero. Of course, zero inflation is far from a level that would require SNB interventions. But don't forget ...

SNB: medium and long term — My 2 cents: For SNB in the medium term (-Sept): They announce that they will keep 1,20, so they will do it in the medium term. Increasing officially above 1,20 would be very costly and has very little hope to scare ...

Funny game — Come on! They might play a funny game: They announce that they will peg to 1,15 and go back to 1,20 after just one week. Would you buy for 1,15 ? If you argue that HF will join forces, why don't they do it now when they may win ...

EUR/CHF

Invalid argument — But if they lower the peg to 1,10 and then sell at 1,30 their profit would even be higher. Or they leave it at 1,10 for 6 month and then force back to 1,20 and cash in. Or they could go back to 1,15 without loosing money if ...

EU: Import 77% but export only 58% see url and EU is not equal to Eurozone, so only around 50% export goes to Eurozone. Therefore a basket with 50% EUR seems fair.
