EUR/CHF has slumped 1.0032 to 0.9867 EBS in a few days
In this period stock markets have been robust
Franc's rise is not due to risk aversion
Sight deposits have collapsed since September
It is not due to interest rates as EZ rates are rising above Swiss
It is not due to fear of bigger movement - vol is low
It may be due to reserve adjustments - SNB is paring reserve
Rise above parity fuelled a lot of bullish speculation
It may have provided SNB with an opportunity to sell euros
