While FX traders and some hedge funds are long EUR/CHF and some short covering happened, sight deposits show a different picture. They rise again, this time with 100 million francs (see details) in one week. Risk-off investors are not convinced yet that the euro crisis is finished, while other investors keep being invested in francs in order to profit of the rising SMI and Swiss real estate prices. The SMI has risen from levels of 7000 to 7600 since new year, while the usually correlated German DAX gained only 100 points.
