Analysts Claus Vistesen and Melanie Debono from Pantheon Macroeconomics indicate that the Swiss National Bank seems poised to implement its final rate cut of the current cycle this week. The Swiss National Bank will announce its interest rate decision on Thursday, and investors and economists expect a further reduction of 25 basis points to 0.25%. Vistesen and Debono assert that this may be the lowest rate the Swiss National Bank may accept, even though this move might contradict the European Central Bank's policy. They stated, "Trade tensions will maintain upward pressure on the Swiss Franc, thus Forex intervention will be necessary regardless."
