I think it is worth saying that no one saw that de-peg coming. Absolutely no one. Sure there are some crazies who saw it coming, but that same camp is still taking for the HKD-USD de-peg. It was a shock to everyone on Wall Street. I am a bit surprised that the Swiss National Bank didn't tip off their own banks before doing it. Both UBS and Credit Suisse were seriously caught off guard when it happened.
