One can always dream I guess

  • Future rate increase depends on inflation, FX developments
  • For now, negative rates remain necessary and appropriate
  • SNB remains ready to intervene in FX market as and when neeed
  • Economy will be hurt if rates are increased now

Yeah, any rate rise in the SNB remains far-fetched at this point in time as the Swiss central bank will also have to rely on the ECB to raise rates first. And that remains a distant possibility as well.

Central bankers speaking about tightening policy with no inflation...
