The Swiss National Bank has hiked its SNB Policy Rate from 1.00% up to 1.50%. The central bank has hiked interest rates despite the ongoing turmoil in the country's banking sector.

As a result of the rate hike the Swiss Franc immediately gained value against peer currencies. The SNB hike caused a 0.46% percent decline. The combined actions by the US Federal Reserve hiking only 0.25% and the SNB hiking 0.50% have caused a decline of 1.30% since 18:00 GMT on Wednesday.
