Pan Macro: Swiss National Bank rate cut is not over yet.
June 20th, Guolonghui | Melanie Debono, senior macro economist of Pansun Europe, believes that after the 25 basis point rate cut on Thursday, the Swiss central bank is expected to continue cutting interest rates. The Swiss National Bank believes that the average inflation rate in 2024, 2025 and 2026 will be slightly lower than the March forecast, making its forecast closer to Pansun's macro forecast. Debono said:"The most important thing is that the Swiss National Bank believes that at the end of its forecast range, namely the first quarter of 2027, the inflation rate is only 1%, and we believe that this is the threshold for further interest rate cuts."

Kathryn Macro: Swiss franc unlikely to cut interest rates again this year.
On June 20th, KIT Finance Macro European economist Adrian Prettejohn stated in a report that due to significant inflation pressures, the Swiss National Bank may not cut interest rates again this year. The Swiss National Bank has lowered its key interest rate for the second time in a row, from 1.5% to 1.25%. Labor compensation is growing at a strong pace, while service industry inflation remains high, indicating that potential pressures have not eased. In fact, although the Swiss National Bank slightly lowered inflation forecasts for 2025 and 2026, the magnitude of the reduction is small and does not seem to reflect a significant change in outlook.
Market analysis: Swiss franc may cut interest rates again in September.
Gelonghui June 20 | Analyst Karsten Junius of J Safra Sarasin stated that as expected, the Swiss central bank lowered its policy interest rate as underlying inflation fell again and long-term inflation expectations were downgraded again. A key trigger for the rate cut may be that the CPI index, excluding rents, recently fell below 1%, while economic activity remains below potential levels. We expect the Swiss central bank to cut interest rates by another 25 basis points in September, which will bring monetary policy back to neutral levels.
