The Swiss franc flies high

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The Swiss franc soars to its highest level against the dollar in more than a decade as investors flee the dollar in search of a safe haven. We look at what that means for Swiss exporters and the central bank. Plus, why have several big global companies announced job cuts, even though they appear to be doing well financially? And the boss of Cisco warns of "carnage" if an AI-driven bubble on stock markets bursts.
