FERRARI LAUNCHES NEW ‘AMALFI’ COUPE BEFORE GOING FULL ELECTRIC
Ferrari just dropped the Amalfi, a sharp new V8 coupe built to replace the Roma and keep the engine noise alive a little longer. It’s got a 3.85L eight-cylinder engine and slides into Ferrari’s entry segment, though nothing about it screams budget. This isn’t just a last hurrah for gas lovers either. It follows the hybrid 296 Speciale, so Ferrari’s clearly hedging its bets. Their first fully electric model is still coming, but for now, the Amalfi is here to make sure your neighbors still hear you arrive. Source: Reuters thru Mario Nawfal on X

The swissie has appreciated nearly 50% over the last 20 years.
A stronger CHF poses significant challenges for Swiss firms, particularly exporters, as it erodes their pricing power on the global stage. This could pressure corporate margins and economic growth in Switzerland. Note that the August 2011 high at 1.3125 is not too far away. What will the SNB do in case of breakout? Heavy use of its balance sheet (at the risk of being pointed out by Trump as a currency manipulator) and/or negative interest rates?
