NG Bank Global Head of Markets and Regional Head of Research for UK & CEE Chris Turner notes.

Swiss Franc strength raises alarms

"The fact that EUR/CHF is offered near 0.92 and that USD/CHF has broken under 0.7800 will be ringing alarm bells in Zurich."

"If this USD/CHF move is to continue, 0.7800/7810 should now prove resistance."
