Bank of England Holds Rates as Switzerland Is First Rich Economy to Cut
Quick Glance: Swiss National Bank Surprises with Rate Cut
  • The Swiss National Bank cut its main interest rate by 25 basis points to 1.50%, becoming the first major central bank to ease tighter monetary policy aimed at tackling inflation.

  • The franc dropped following the decision, boosting the euro to its highest level against the Swiss currency since mid-July last year, with Swiss government bond yields also falling.

  • Experts like Karsten Junius and Alexander Koch highlighted the significance of the rate cut due to low inflation rates and the strong franc, with expectations for more rate cuts.

  • The decision was widely perceived as a surprise, leading to speculation about further rate cuts in June and September, as inflation forecasts were substantially revised downwards.
