The Swiss National Bank (SNB) meets to set rates today. Economists at ING analyze CHF's outlook ahead of the decision.


Majority of economists are going for a 25 bps hike

The majority of economists are going for a 25 bps hike, but a sizable minority look for 50 bps. 


Recent SNB rhetoric has remained hawkish despite core inflation dropping below 2% year-on-year. Last September, we estimated that the SNB wanted to engineer 5% nominal appreciation per year to keep the real CHF stable. That is roughly what has happened. Where we were wrong is that it has come more through USD/CHF than EUR/CHF. 


Expect a hawkish SNB today to keep USD/CHF offered – targeting May's 0.8820 low.
