“While the SNB’s nominal trade-weighted CHF index is on its highs, the inflation-adjusted ‘real’ index is not.”

“This latter measure of the CHF is some 5% off the highs seen in summer 2015 (largely due to low inflation in Switzerland relative to trading partners) and a retest of that 2015 high would equate to EUR/CHF hitting the 1.05 area. That seems quite a conservative target for EUR/CHF this summer.”
