Swiss Inflation Rate MoM (Apr) M/M 0.3% vs. Exp. 0.4% (Prev. 0.2%, Low. 0.2%, High. 0.7%)
- FSO, "The 0.3% increase compared with the previous month is due to several factors including rising prices for petrol, diesel and heating oil. Prices for air transport also recorded a price increase, as did those for international package holidays. In contrast, prices for hotels and supplementary accommodation decreased, as did those for car rental and car sharing."
Context
The Swiss inflation rate of 0.3% month-on-month missed expectations of 0.4%, indicating a slight deceleration in inflation pressure compared to the previous month. This result may influence the Swiss National Bank's (SNB) view on monetary policy moving forward, as it suggests a more subdued inflation environment, potentially impacting the CHF and Euro cross rates.
