@ninfan – to answer your question on the other thread …
Swiss Franc was being artificially “held down” in value by their government worried about a highly valued currency negatively impacting tourism and export businesses. They have now given up as it was costing them a lot of money and the real fundamentals warrant a stronger currency, ie the Swiss economy is doing great and lots of people want to invest there / move their money into Swiss Francs for safety not least as so much of Europe looks in trouble.
As I posted over 15 years the Swiss Franc has doubled in value versus the pound/euro/dollar (will double check but certainly pound) – they are doing something right.
