Switzerland's relatively attractive interest rate gap compared to other major economies has been a key stabilizer. Since mid-year, this rate differential has effectively cushioned the Swiss Franc against broader currency volatility. The higher yield environment has kept capital flows steady, preventing the kind of sharp exchange rate swings we've seen elsewhere in global markets. Pretty solid fundamentals holding the line there.

The Swiss franc is being supported by the interest rate spread this time, and it really wasn't a waste of effort.

I've been through it all, and I'm tired of the rhetoric about interest rate differentials. In 2018, the fundamentals were also "stable" in various ways. But what happened? The Swiss franc is now supported mainly by interest rate differentials. What if the Federal Reserve shifts its stance? Capital flows can change suddenly, so don't put too much trust in the so-called "stability."

The Swiss franc's current carry spread arbitrage is truly stable, and it seems much smarter than other major economies.

The Swiss franc has indeed been stable this time, and the interest rate differential advantage is the guiding anchor.

The Swiss franc is indeed stable this time, with the interest rate differential holding it steady and preventing it from moving randomly.

The Swiss franc has indeed been stable this time, and the interest rate differential advantage immediately offset the risk.

The Swiss franc's interest rate differential advantage has played out well, indeed stabilizing the situation.
