- Wednesday, December 21, 2011, 12:45 PM The Swiss franc strengthens a bit after the country's parliament votes against a motion for the government to create a legal framework for negative interest rates. Earlier the franc had strengthened when the Finance Minister said negative rates were among the tools the country had to combat the currency's strength. FXF -0.2%. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
- Friday, December 16, 2011, 11:11 AM The euro dives to a near 2 month low vs. the Swiss franc after yesterday, the SNB left its EURCHF floor at CHF 1.20, disappointing those who were expecting a hike. Today, SNB chief Hildebrand, in a TV interview, posits it may not be long before the markets test that level. Euro buying CHF 1.22; Swiss stocks, the worst performers on the continent today, -1.3%. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Friday, December 16, 2011, 8:27 AM Among Saxo Bank's "Outrageous Predictions for 2012": A 50% plummet in Apple's (AAPL) value as its legion of 'competitors" make inroads, a collapse in European share prices leading to a one week or longer EU bank holiday, and a sharp devaluation in the yuan. If someone runs into Byron Wien, give him a smack. 1 Comment [U.S. Economy, Global & FX, Tech]
- Thursday, December 15, 2011, 4:06 AM The euro is down 1% against the Swiss franc to 1.2255, after the SNB's continued comments that the franc is high and that the bank is prepared to buy forex in "unlimited quantities." The bank left in place its floor of 1.2 francs to the euro. (USD/CHF -1.1% to 0.9429) Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, December 15, 2011, 3:35 AM Swiss industrial production fell a seasonally-adjusted 1.4% in Q3, worse than the expected 0.9% fall and a sharp drop from +3.6% in Q2. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, December 15, 2011, 3:35 AM As expected, the Swiss National Bank will continue to aim for a three-month Libor close to zero. "Even at the current rate, the Swiss franc is still high and should continue to weaken over time. The SNB stands ready to take further measures at any time if the economic outlook and the risk of deflation so require." (statement) Comment! [Global & FX, Breaking News]
- Wednesday, December 14, 2011, 12:39 PM Swiss National Bank (SNB) foreign reserve assets sky in 2011 as it stepped in to prop up the euro's value. The bank's balance sheet now shows CHF 252B of foreign currency holdings, CHF 113B more than the level one year ago. The program thus far has been a success, with the euro remaining well north of the CHF 1.20 floor set by the SNB. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, December 7, 2011, 4:17 AM Swiss unemployment held steady at a seasonally-adjusted 3%, the lowest in almost three years, suggesting continued strength in the labor market despite an overall weakening of the economy. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, December 6, 2011, 8:03 AM Swiss November CPI -0.5% Y/Y (-0.3% forecast) vs. -0.1% in October. The fall, which was the biggest since October 2009, was due to lower import costs because of the strong Swiss franc, and adds pressure on the SNB to raise its ceiling for the currency. (PR) Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, December 1, 2011, 11:49 AM The greenback and the euro quickly surge higher vs. the Swiss franc on a rumor the SNB is considering additional weakening steps, including the imposition of negative interest rates. FXF -0.3%. Comment! [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Friday, November 11, 2011, 12:58 PM The Swiss franc dives against both the euro and greenback after the SNB's Jean-Pierre Danthine hits the wires saying the back is prepared to take further measures to weaken the currency. Chatter abounds the SNB is to move the euro/franc floor from CHF 1.20 to CHF 1.30. The euro currently buys CHF 1.24, +0.5%. Comment! [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Thursday, October 27, 2011, 9:25 AM A check of the currency markets shows the dollar longs getting fried in both the "risk on" and the "risk off" currencies. Risk on: The aussie +2.8% to $1.0685 (was $0.94 3 weeks ago!). Risk off: the greenback -1.9% vs. the swiss franc to CHF 0.8640, and don't forget a new low vs. the yen. UUP -1.4% premarket. Comment! [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Friday, October 21, 2011, 9:57 AM The pummeling of the dollar may be the most important news of the day, which sniffs of additional Fed QE rather than Europe having solved its issues. A speech last night from the Fed's Daniel Tarullo arguing for additional MBS purchases looks to be the catalyst. Comment! [Global & FX, U.S. Economy, On the Move]
- Wednesday, October 19, 2011, 4:28 AM The euro touches 1.2462 Swiss francs, its highest level in five months, on unconfirmed but persistent chatter that the Swiss National Bank is raising its exchange rate target from 1.20 francs. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, October 10, 2011, 7:56 AM European shares are staging a tepid rally (Stoxx 50 +0.6%) in the wake of news Merkozy is planning a plan and the Dexia nationalization, but the euro is romping, +1.5% vs. the dollar to $1.3575. The greenback is sharply lower against nearly all of the major currencies, the dollar index -1.2%. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Sunday, October 9, 2011, 8:48 PM "The greatest threat to the euro is the bailout fund itself," says Richard Sulik, the leader of Slovakia's SaS party that is attempting to vote down EFSF expansion. "It's an attempt to use fresh debt to solve the debt crisis," he continues. "It's ridiculous how politicians orient themselves based on whether stock prices rise or fall a few percentage points."
