BREAKING: SNB hikes rates by 50 basis points

9:32 AM 15 December 2022

Swiss National Bank announced its monetary policy decision at 8:30 am GMT and offered no surprise. Interest rates were increased by 50 basis points with main rate jumping from 0.50 to 1.00%. Such a decision was expected. Swiss franc gained in a knee-jerk move following the announcement but those gains were short-lived. EURCHF quickly recovered and is now trading around 0.3% above pre-announcement levels.
