What a way to end the summer holidays. I woke up to an email from my broker to say that my account had breached 50% of the trading limit thanks to the swift moves in forex, particularly the CHF.
The CHF has been the strongest currency in the world, by far, and it's starting to not make sense. Compared to even the countries that come in 2nd and 3rd place in the most expensive list, Singapore, Hong Kong, Switzerland is ridiculously expensive.
The central bank is likely to cut again in September when they're back since inflation is so low. Well, it's low because everything is expensive here.
Anyway, so I decided to buy some USDCHF and GBPCHF as it dipped. The carry and daily interest has been nice but the price action hasn't been. I do wonder if it's because people have been parking their money here as a hedge. Doesn't make much sense but I guess neither did the Yen at 162.
Anyway, I topped up the account a little and decided to buy a bit more at these panic levels. Time will tell.
