How does the Swiss CPI affect EUR/CHF?
The franc strengthens on reduced SNB rate cut bets, pushing EUR/CHF lower. The pair may test the 0.9400 support level if markets further unwind dovish SNB expectations.
Is the SNB likely to intervene following the data?
While the SNB traditionally dislikes franc strength, the steady inflation print may reduce its urgency to cut rates or intervene verbally, though a sharp franc appreciation could still prompt action.
