Swiss producer and import prices ease decline pace in July
Switzerland's producer and import prices tumbled at a lower pace for the second straight month in July, the statistical office announced on Tuesday. The producer and import price index dropped 1.8% on year, after a 2.2% fall in June. Analysts estimated a 1.7% decline, but the drop still was the smallest since July 2011, when it posted a 0.6% fall.
