'too little volatility' is a good argument - but, it combines with a lot of 'safety' - and given a 'peg' at 1.20 yesterday nights 1.2057 going up to 1.21 today is 'huge' volatility ;-)

Surprise and then No Surprise for the EUR

sorry to 'interrupt' some 'fighting': I am wondering whether anyone is trading EUR/CHF which to me seems to offer quite nice 'safe' opportunities (with the SNB ensuring quite nicely that it won't get under 1.20 and thus at some point or another can ...

Italy 3-yr auction yield falls to 4.83% from 5.62%

@Jolly: you are right and there is for sure a lot of 'cultural thing' in it, but you should not underestimate them. As explained above they realised that their approach(es) was/were not working. And they realised that the SNB did a much better job. ...

Japan's Azumi says Japan will take decisive action against excessive JPY rises

@PipTrapper: Indeed, Joseph (aka Pope Benedict XVI) called me while I was in the gym on the treadmill with Philipp (Hildebrand), who was still trying to recover from the training sessions with Azumi-san. Joseph complaint about Angie (Merkel) begging ...

Merkel Consults With The Pope On Financial Crisis

Philipp said that this was exactly his thinking during the first 1-2 trials, but that at latest after the 4th trial he needed a 'Cüpli' of Champagne ... Well, we'll see. Azumi has the training material, everything is video taped, he has his ...

Swissy spikes versus major counterparts

oh sorry, was meant to say about the SNB 'loosing money' th following: 'going long at 1.00xx and being at 1.21xx does not look like loosing money ?!?' (not 1.20xx)

Market talk that SNB may move the floor for EUR/CHF to 1.2500

@RollingT: I may be completely wrong, but I am not convinced that SNB has spent a lot of money so far and I am not convinced that they would have to spend a lot of money to push it over at least 1.25. Again, I may be wrong, but I guess that market ...

Market talk that SNB may move the floor for EUR/CHF to 1.2500

Maybe small fishes will regret this tomorrow as much as they did on Sept 6 after having been sidelined for the real rally ;-) Even without any announcement from the SNB it seems quite likely that EUR/CHF will at least move up towards 1.25. Worst ...
