GVI Dollar Outlook


SWITZERLAND

GVI Swiss National Bank Policy Meeting Preview

  • Decision: June 19 at 08:30 GMT.
  • SNB 3mo Swiss libor target: 2.75%
  • Expected Decision: Risk of +25bp
  • The SNB had indicated that the peak in interest rates had been reached. However, intensifying inflationary pressures and a probable ECB rate hike in early July could tip the scale to higher rates. The Swiss CPI (see below) is well above its target ceiling of 2.0%. The SNB manages the value of the CHF as critical element of monetary poilcy.


  • SWISS NATIONAL BANK Policy Objective: The National Bank equates price stability with a rise in the national consumer price index (CPI) of less than 2% per annum. In so doing, it takes account of the fact that not every price movement is necessarily inflationary. Furthermore, it believes that inflation cannot be measured accurately. Measurement problems arise, for example, when the quality of goods and services improves. Such changes are not properly accounted for in the CPI; as a result, inflation, as measured by the CPI, will be slightly overstated.
