CHF Swiss CPI m/mCPI m/m Forecast 0.0%Previous 0.0%
- What it is
- The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the monthly change in the prices of goods and services bought by households in Switzerland. It is published by the Swiss Federal Statistical Office (FSO).
- Why it matters
- Traders watch it because it is a key inflation gauge that the Swiss National Bank (SNB) considers when setting interest rates. It is usually of moderate importance for the Swiss franc.
- Usual market reaction
- Prices tend to react to the actual figure compared with the forecast. A higher-than-forecast reading usually supports the franc, as markets may expect the SNB to be slower to cut rates, while a lower reading often weighs on CHF. The reaction is often milder than for major US data.
GBP UK 10-Year Gilt Auction10-y Bond Auction Previous 5.42|3.6
- What it is
- The UK Debt Management Office (DMO) auctions 10-year government bonds (gilts) to raise money for the government.
- Why it matters
- The result shows how much demand there is for UK government debt and what it costs the country to borrow. It is usually of medium to fairly low importance, unless markets are worried about public debt.
- Usual market reaction
- Traders often look at the average yield and the bid-to-cover ratio compared with recent auctions and expectations. Stronger-than-expected demand tends to support confidence in gilts and the pound, while weak demand can push yields up and make the pound more volatile. The reaction is usually modest.
