Economists at ING analyze Franc’s outlook ahead of the Swiss National Bank (SNB) meeting.
Presumably, the SNB will cut its inflation forecasts. Having consistently sold FX since last year – delivering nominal CHF appreciation and keeping the real Swiss Franc stable – we are interested to hear today whether the SNB has been both buying and selling FX.
If it confirms it is on both sides of EUR/CHF, rather than just being a EUR/CHF seller, and we suspect EUR/CHF can jump back up to the 0.9550 area.
