MNI (LONDON) - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: 

  • The SNB is expected to cut its policy rate again, with a 25bp cut to 1.00% most likely, as reflected by analyst and market expectations - but there is a risk of a larger cut.
  • Inflation has further slowed since the June meeting, remaining well below the SNB’s target of below 2% (but not deflation) and below its Q3 forecast.
  • There will therefore likely be a downward revision to September’s updated inflation projection, regardless of it being conditional on a new, lower, policy rate.
  • CHF has seen some volatility since the last meeting, appreciating slightly overall, underpinning the cut narrative and potentially warranting an alteration to FX communications.
  • A dovish tilt on FX policy could provide some basis for reversal after initial CHF strength on the release, assuming the 25bp cut base case materialises.
