Switzerland is keeping rates at 0% — for now
Why now
Thesis: SNB divergence keeps franc bid, hikes priced ahead
Catalyst to watch: SNB hike timing or inflation surprise
Main risk: Premature hikes could choke Swiss growth
Why it matters
SNB holding at 0% while markets price hikes keeps the franc supported and diverges from other central banks, pressuring EUR/CHF dynamics.
Details
The Swiss National Bank held rates at 0% as low inflation and a strong franc enable it to diverge from other central banks, though markets expect hikes ahead.
