Swiss Franc moves due to inflation

The Swiss Federal Statistics Office has published the Swiss monthly inflation data. Inflation in Switzerland has stalled. The Swiss Franc is reacting to the news by declining.

Instead of the expected Consumer Price Index increase of 0.1%, the actual data showed a 0.0% change. The lower inflation indicates that the Swiss National Bank can cut interest rates and reduce monetary tightening, if it would be needed, as inflation is no longer a threat.

The USD/CHF currency exchange rate jumped immediately on the news by 0.2% or 18 base points.
