Episode 30 of Currency Conversations examines the Swiss franc's recent resurgence as a safe-haven currency amid the Iran conflict and eurozone inflation.

They explore the Swiss National Bank's shift from interventionist policy to tolerance of franc strength, and what this means for carry trades and currency hedging. Specific data points include the trade-weighted dollar index at 118.9, eurozone inflation hitting 3.2 percent, and the yen weakening past 159 per dollar.
