Swiss Franc Hits New Record High; No SNB Opposition Seen – MarketWatch

The Swiss franc leapt to a new record high against the euro Tuesday, with no sign yet of intervention by the Swiss National Bank to push it back down. The euro hit CHF1.3785 in London trading hours, below its previous record low of CHF1.3850 seen in New York Monday. The single currency has now declined by over 6% against the franc so far this year. The lack of any obvious reaction from the SNB so far hints that it may be stepping back from its franc-weakening program and allowing the currency to climb.
