EUR/CHF is the most important pair in the Swiss National Bank's policy framework. The SNB watches EUR/CHF as its primary competitiveness gauge, when EUR/CHF falls (CHF strengthens vs EUR), Swiss exports become more expensive in their largest market, the eurozone. This is why EUR/CHF has historically attracted SNB intervention more than any other CHF pair.
The pair famously had a EUR/CHF floor at 1.20 from 2011 to 2015 that the SNB removed without warning, producing a 30% intra-day CHF rally, one of the largest single-day FX moves in modern history. Markets remain wary of sudden SNB action, which keeps EUR/CHF in a tight range most of the time.
