Goldman Sachs taregt 1.16 iin GBP/CHF, with a stop at 1.10
Most importantly in our view, the SNB has reported that it intervened to the tune of CHF 0.3bn in Q1. We find that notable because it demonstrates the SNB’s fairly active currency policy, and it reveals that the Bank is more willing to “fine tune” currency moves than its G10 counterparts
Even after the end of negative interest rates, intervention has remained an important and often-used tool for the SNB.

‘Carry’ lives on it seems.
