The document contains 5 charts showing the appreciation of the Swiss franc against major currencies like the US dollar, euro, South Korean won, and Singapore dollar over time. The final chart shows gold appreciating against the Swiss franc. The trends indicate a move away from risky assets towards safe havens as both gold and the Swiss franc are seen as safe haven investments during times of economic uncertainty and a lack of confidence in current monetary policies.

- 3. GOLD IN SWISS FRANC There are 5 charts, first four depict how Swiss Franc has appreciated against major currencies around the world. The final chart shows how Gold has appreciated against Swiss Franc. I am quite curious to understand the information contained in the above trends Gold a safe haven asset as well as a true global currency. Swiss Franc at the same time has acted as a safe haven currency in the past The kind of appreciation seen in both is it can indication of the bid away from the risk assets towards safety A more structural shift towards safe heavens A vote of no confidence against the existing monetary orderSome people might say that it is also a reflection of wealth leaking out of various regions of the world and piling on Swiss Bank Accounts (refer to Baba Ramdev for that .)
