The SNBs reserve holdings increased to 56bn, a 51% increase over Q4 holdings, which implies
that intervention in EUR/CHF was significant in the first quarter of 2010. Since the latest round of intervention, suspected to have been on April 1

Hi Ashraf, do you have any views on EURCHF in terms of levels? Just wondering if you still think its a good hedge for existing EUR shorts.

Those EURUSD shorts look into long EURCHF as SNB may be encouraged to intervene now that Greek wind in is its back ie facilitating the euro longs vs CHF

SNB reserves are about 80% EUR. The strength of CHF has only one reason: capital inflow from PIIGS
and Russia and possibly Dubai. ( Even Putin is - could be gossip- reported to change rubles to CHF he is a very rich person btw )

montmorency,

there is saying in FX " USD is the worst currency, except all the others", and on the question to Warren Buffet " if you would have to transfer all your USD cash, what currency would you buy? " He answered "CHF, because I would loose the least"

Frank is not tied to commodities like (AUD,CAD,NZD), Swiss neutrality and bank secrecy (currently it's in question, but we shell see) provide safe haven, and economy has steady pace (no huge swings) Switzerland does not have astronomical national debt like USD, GBP, JPY

my favorite reason to trade CHF, particularly EUR/CHF is SNB and their interventions. National Bank is trying to scare people from buying their currency against EUR. Personally, I think it is most predictable pair on the market for a while now.

Question about CHF is "why you would' not buy CHF"

Leaving aside the question of SNB interventions, can anyone tell me the fundamentals behind the general strength of the CHF? Of course in the recent Eurozone climate, it is no surprise that against the EUR, the CHF would be strong, but I mean over the longer term.

What does the CHF have going for it?
