Switzerland's consumer inflation reading for September came in lower than expected. Moreover, in m/m terms, there is a deflation. The index reading is at its lowest level since August 2021. Such data reinforces the existing policy of the Swiss National Bank (SNB), which was one of the first in Europe to decide to start a cycle of interest rate cuts.
