CHF STIRs Pare Initial Hawkish CPI Move

STIR

SARON futures have retraced the bulk of their initial CPI-driven downtick, last unchanged to 2.5bp lower.

  • SNB-dated OIS shows ~17bp of easing (a little over 65% odds of a 25bp cut) through the June meeting, with a 25bp cut more than fully discounted through the Sep meeting.
  • As we noted earlier, the upside surprise in the CPI release was largely driven by imported goods.
  • Market participants have been happy to fade the move, likely aided by the rally in core wider core global FI markets and given the volatility in the imported inflation readings.
  • Still, the data seems to provide some upside risk to the current SNB forecast for Q224 (1.4%), as rental price inflation may accelerate in the coming months.
  • FX movement also continues to provide a risk factor on the imported inflation side.
