No major surprises by the SNB in their latest policy decision, as they keep a more neutral stance. They removed the passage that "it cannot be ruled out that further tightening may become necessary", opting for a stance that reaffirms that they are officially on hold now. And the lower inflation forecasts only serves to support that narrative at the moment.
