瑞士法郎兑美元贬值至0.89左右,为7月中旬以来的最低水平,受美元走强的压力,此前美国持续强劲的经济数据增强了人们对美联储需要放缓降息步伐的预期。投资者也对唐纳德·特朗普政府提出的政策的潜在通胀影响保持谨慎。在国内,瑞士国家银行(SNB)主席马丁·施莱格尔重申,央行将继续将低通胀作为其货币政策的基石。他强调,将通胀率维持在0-2%的范围内,对瑞士经济近年来的强劲表现至关重要。最近通货膨胀的下降趋势引发了市场对瑞士央行今年和2025年进一步降息以抵御通货紧缩风险的预期。2024年10月,瑞士的年通货膨胀率连续第三个月降至0.6%,为2021年6月以来的最低水平。
The Swiss franc depreciated to around 0.89 per USD, its lowest since mid-July, pressured by a strengthening dollar after ongoing US strong economic data reinforced expectations the Federal Reserve would need to slow the path of rate cuts. Investors also remained cautious about the potential inflationary impact of policies proposed by Donald Trump’s administration. Domestically, Swiss National Bank (SNB) Chairman Martin Schlegel reiterated that the central bank will continue to prioritize low inflation as the cornerstone of its monetary policy. He emphasized that maintaining inflation within the 0-2% range has been crucial to the Swiss economy's strong performance in recent years. The recent downward trend in inflation has stoked market expectations of more interest rate cuts by the SNB this year and into 2025 to head off deflationary risks. The annual inflation rate in Switzerland eased for the third month to 0.6% in October 2024, the lowest since June 2021.
