The supply of Swiss francs in the foreign exchange market rises, and the demand for Swiss francs in the foreign exchange market rises, causing an uncertain change in the value of the Swiss franc. d. The supply of Swiss francs in the foreign exchange market rises, and the demand for Swiss francs in the foreign exchange market falls, causing a depreciation of the Swiss franc. e.
