Swiss Central Bank had fixed their exchange rate @ 1.20 swiss to 1 euro. Lifted it today and it dropped like a stone to 1 to 1.
It’s roughly 20% more expensive to go to Switzerland today than it was yesterday. Some FX traders after getting cleaned this morning.

Euro continues to be a bucket of shite against the Dollar as well. Which is bad news for me ahead of my April visit stateside.
