SNB board member Maechler across the wires 31 Aug

  • negative interest rates are vital for Switzerland at present
  • CHF situation remains quite fragile
  • weakening vs euro is going in right direction but too early to say if trend sustainable
  • CHF continues to evolve in quite narrow band
  • inflation remains at low level but some positive signs

Nothing new here

USD CHF 0.9634 from 0.9646 session highs. EURCHF 1.1456 from 1.1470 after decent early rally from 1.1440

Maechler - CHF situation still fragile. In any language
