Via Goldman Sachs,
Removing the SNB peg takes out one of the biggest EUR buyers in the market. And of course, VERY notable this is happening 1-week ahead of the ECB, they possibly realised they could not continue to buy unlimited quantities when the ECB might print unlimited quantities.
Desk thoughts:
This is a massive message from SNB to the market : ECB is going to do QE, and it’s going to be big..No way I am keeping buying EUROs here. First Market will have to digest the pain of a 28% move at some point, also the USDCHF is down 15% which will HURT in the current long USD environment
